both, I was thinking of upgreading mine, and also would like to know whats the best there is...also i have heard that even\ the best card availible atm doesn't run EU at full potential...was wondering if it was true

I bought a computer about 6 months ago and I got the NVIDIA 260. If I were to buy a new GPU today I would choose NVIDIA 275 or 285 or something like HD4870 if you prefer ATI.

The 260 I have now is more than enough to run EU at 1920x1200 with everything on full.
To me it seems like having alot of RAM (4-8GB) and a good internet connection is just as important in EU.

Oh, if money was no issue I would probably get 3 NVIDIA GTX 295 cards.

Windows XP doesn`t support DX10. If you want to get maximum graphics of Entropia after the cryengine update, you`ll have to install Vista or Windows 7. Both Vista and Windows 7 would have to be 64bit versions if you need more than 4gb ram.
ATI 4870 X2 should a good choice for graphic card at relatively decent price.

Crysis' issue isn't so much graphics card power, it's CPU. There just aren't enough clockcycles available unless you're using a chip that came out in the last 6 months.
