Solve : Video cards - what's more important?? |
|
Answer» Just curious, when it comes to a video card what would be more important for performance.... Those would average out to about even with the advantage if any to the second one...so i would say price would be the determining factor. You dissapoint me. I don't WANT to have to fix mistakes here. The advantage is HUGELY in favor of the first (Core Clock). But the thing that matters MOST, is the core itself, not how far it's clocked. For example, a core with 128 ALUs with a 500Mhz clock is much better than a core with 28 ALUs with a 2,000Mhz clock. You multiply it in this case, but it's not that easy with anything but the 8-series graphics cards from nVidia. If you want help, I'll need to know which cards you're talking about.Well, isn't this like when you are looking at RAM sticks? Let's say you have DDR memory at 1gb and DDR2 memory at 1gb. The DDR2 memory obviously is better since it has faster speeds. So you'd want a graphics card that can run faster so your graphics don't lag, but of course, if you got more memory, you can do more GRAPHIC intense stuff on your computer.You've got it backwards, sorry. The actual chip matters much more than the memory size, and sometimes the speed. For example, an X1300 512Mb will be much WORSE than an 8800GTS 320Mb. In that example, the first card is clocked much slower too, but when looking at video cards compare the actual GPU first, then the memory and clock speed. |
