Solve : Picking a new Video card? |
|
Answer» Hi Not barely enough info...sorry about that edited my first post Quote from: MrYumYum on March 12, 2011, 10:31:53 AM I would also like to know whether there is a difference in performance for a pci/pcie video card? Yes lots. PCI-E has a far greater data BANDWIDTH than PCI. How about a GeForce GTX 480 $400 Or a GeForce GTX 570 $350 [Check your power supply first!] They're apparently the 2ND & 3rd best GPU's at the moment. (Performance wise that is, stability, power CONSUMPTION & heat dissipation I have no idea about). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121373&cm_re=GeForce_GTX_480-_-14-121-373-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133370&cm_re=GeForce_GTX_570-_-14-133-370-_-Product Quote from: Accessless on March 13, 2011, 11:41:58 AM Yes lots. PCI-E has a far greater data bandwidth than PCI. sorry i wasnt able to answer havent been home for over a week thanks for your reply, i will consider these i just browsed through amazon's selection and saw this one (gtx 550): http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-PCI-Express-Graphics-01G-P3-1556-KR/dp/B004R9OVE6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300699920&sr=8-1-spell how come a newer version of a video card (gtx 550) costs almost half as this older version (gtx 480)? id also like to ask what traits one should take into account when picking a graphic card for gamers? (and how will this trait improve my gaming experience?) |
