Hi All

Newbie here, first of all thanks to all on the forum, my machine crashed last week and i only got it working because of the advice i got here!

Right i am running 32bit vista on the following: PCI Express mainboard SLI Nforce 650i(c55), 4gb ram with a 550w psu (dont know the make) and i have a 256mb nvidia geforce 8600gt video card, i want a better card for gaming and watching video etc.



Can you help, dont really want to spend more than £100 if possible. Also reading some of the advice here, will upgrading the card make me have less memory?

Thanks

No.

How much graphics memory do you really need? - The Tech Report - Page 5

If you're running screen resolutions of less than 2000 X 1280 you would notice an improvement between your 256 card and a 512 card. You should be able to get a GeForce 9500 GT for less than 100 bucks.

Just don't play Crysis at some crazy screen resolution and you'll be fine.

Sgt. Oddball posted information on this new card in the Vista News sub-forum. That looks like a great deal!

thanks for this i actually meant £100 and not Dollars, im in the uk, also would you recommend a 512 or 1gb card. Whats better a 4770/4850 or 9600gt or 9800gt. Also as mine is pci express do they just slot in?

thanks

Any card with a PCI-E interface just slips right in.

I don't know anything about the breaking new video cards, really; all my information is old the minute I learn it, it seems. It is a matter of personal preference. If you've had nothing but good experiences with your product of a particular brand, I say keep buying that brand.
