Nvidia 8800GT or Radeon 4770HD

[ahsan303]

I have read several reviews and have come to the conclusion that radeon 4770HD will be a better choice in terms of performance. My PC has D945GCNL mother board with a PCI x16 slot. The thing which bugs me is that, i am concerned whether radeon cards are more long lasting and robust than the nvidia cards, keeping in mind the hot and humid climate of Karachi, Pakistan. Will the Radeon card fulfill my non stop, 5 hours continuous gaming sessions, without making any special arrangements for cooling, like modifying my computer casing or turning on the Air conditioning while playing? PLEASE DO REPLY.........

They both come with warranties.

I know they have warranties, but its only for a year or so, i want to know, of the two, which is a more reliable hardware..........

Either should, all things being equal, last until it is obsolete if it is taken care of.
Neither should require any modificatiosn to cooling, assuming your current setup isn't choked for airflow.
