| XP Professional, Vista Ultimate x64 | Graphic Cards: Best for less?? Here was two GPU's (graphic cards) i was looking at... RADEON HD 4850 Phenom II Here is the computer i'm thinking of building... methinks it needs some tweaks. CPU: Quadcore Q8200 PSU: 650W CoolerMaster RAM: Kingston 4G @ 800 MGz Mainboard: I don't know at this point. I was gunna buy a cheap one that would work with the things i wanted. I stumbled accross a site about ATI and Nvidia with the 6 & 7 series... ATI had a Geforce 6800GT vs Nvidias Geforce 6800GS which will show that while one number is lower on one, it compensates with a higher number on something else...therefore - they're the same damn thing! And look at the price difference.. Here were the differences between the two in BOLD text. ATI Gefore 6800GT Pixel Pipelines: 16Core Clock: 350 MHz RAM Clock: 1000MHz - 256MB DDR3 Price: $200 Nvidia Gefore 6800GS Pixel Pipelines: 12Core Clock: 400 MHz RAM Clock: 1000MHz - 256MB DDR3 Price: $120 Anyways since i've seen this i was wondering if any of you wonderful people out there could show me a graphic the same for cheaper or maybe a better one for cheaper etc etc.. NOTE: if you could show it in AUD as i live in Australia. Last edited by Onslaught; 03-25-2009 at 12:11 AM.. |

| Vista Ultimate SP2 x64 : Seven Ultimate x64 | Re: Graphic Cards: Best for less?? MSY can be pretty cheap. It depends on whether your close to a store though: MSY-The Name you can trust-More than 10 years in IT industry-Nationalwide branches serve you & always offer the best up today IT price The 4850 is a good bang for buck card. I'm thinking about grabbing another for one for crossfire to tide me over until the high-end cards come down a lot with their high end prices. EDIT: Thought about it, crossfire and x64 is still flaky at best and more trouble than it's worth Last edited by smarteyeball; 03-24-2009 at 04:29 AM.. |
