    All of those cards will have no problems with the games listed (you should be able to get the highest graphics settings on them to work fine).

    For the brand really it's just an opinion. They have the same power and that's all it comes down to (to me).

    Your processor isn't that powerful, but it can handle those games. I have an old pc with one and it runs those games fine. I couldn't get the highest settings, but I had an older card, so you should be fine.

    Very nice setup overall for gaming you will have a hard time finding a game that does NOT work.

    well yea a 9800GT will run those games,

    But be aware GTAIV wants a quad core or a 3.4Ghz+ Dual core to run really good, But it should run alright with a 9800GT

    as far as brand stick with XFX, i've had nothing but problems with Palits and Zotacs,

    It really ought to run MW2,NFS, and dirt 2 really well at high if not highest settings.

    FYI a 9800GTX+ is about 30$ more and offers almost double the performance of a 9800GT

    I get 73fps on Dirt2 Ultra settings across the board 1920x1200 on my GTX260, my buddy gets 55fps same test, same settings with a 8800GTS SSC (112spu) [SSC edition of the 8800 was the 9800GT before the 9800GT was released)

    My computer even with the GTX260 ran GTAIV like crap when i had my X2 6000+, so i got a Phaenom II X4 965 BE 3.4Ghz.

    lol i fly through GTA4 now!

    I just read through a review of that compared the 9800gt against the 9800GTX+ (there were other cards to). The 9800GTX+ is a better card and it's only $30 more, you should really consider getting it over the 9800GT.

    stop attempting to get a video card top now. PCI video enjoying cards are ineffective for something yet tossing up a speedy and grimy better reveal or 2. The bus is plenty, way too gradual to run any form of contemporary 3-D pastime.
