Building my new PC, was wondering if I could get some input on whats better.

I would prefer whats actually better as far as stats and performance as opposed to opinion plz. Thx for your advice.

This PC will be for gaming mostly btw.

Right now the GeForce 8800GTS/GTX are the best.

Bradan · 12-07-2006, 01:29 AM

well they are pretty equal, top cards mentioned above are 450-600$ ea

ati's competing car is supposed to be upwards of 25% better performance wise up its release

Kk. But what about manuf?

I am quite confused on whats better...
XFX seems to be popular.

It all depends on your price range. Right now nvidia has the best video card out to the public.

Ohh sorry. I am looking for something between $200 - $300 24 pipelines and whats the best i can get for the money.

And are you located in the U.S?
Do you have PCI-E? AGP?
If you have PCI-E, then i think this is your best option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814103025

PCI-E. Do you mind telling me if 16 pipelines is really major diff from 24? or is that getting to high in price? Like whats the most important feature on video cards iyo.

Motoxrdude · 12-07-2006, 01:43 AM

Well, the memory interface is very important. 256bit is high end, 512bit is top of the line, 128bit is for budget builds, anything less sucks. The speeds that the core and memory runs at is also another factor. The pixel pipelines is also another factor.

Before you make a buy, I need someone else's oppinion on this. Is the 7950GT faster then the x1950XT?

EDIT- NVM, the x1950xt is faster
