Interestingly, Rockstar have this time chosen to team up with nVidia, Alienware and Creative Labs for a software/hardware marketing push. Rockstar are only recommending Geforce 6 and SB Audigy cards because of these deals. Lesser hardware will likely provide the same experience, so don't fret if you're only running a 5950 or something similar. You'll also be fine with any ATi Video Card.
