Graphics card

(1/5) > >>

EHM-1199 Philip:
I don't think we've had this discussion since about this time last year when I shopped for a new PC. I'm still happpy with the PC but wondered what graphics card folks think is the best bang for buck at the moment. I don't mean which is the best ever super duper 500£ mega card. More - if spending £150 - what should I buy?
This usually promotes a good discussion as the ATI and NVidia fans argue it out :)

EHM-1001 Robert:
Well, I always move around the 150 EUR range, where you can find a lot of good cards. I think that is the minimum price for a gfx-killer game, like FS :)

It is always a good question, if you want to meet the 2 fanclubs, to disagree about the 2 brands :) but I think for gaming, there is not a big difference between NVidia and ATI chips. If the card had 128 MB RAM, then simply select the most expensive one from the list, until the price you are able to pay...then you surely have a very good card, and more freetime to think of more important things about the life ;)

EHM-1571 Moris:
I bought used gigabyte ATI radeon 9700 pro since 1 year for 150 € and I am very satisfied with it,very powerfull card. I don't have money to spent on super duper new graphic card - I always calculate in middle range:-))For now, this graphic card suite all my needs regarding fs2004 and watching movies.

EMH-1627:
i particularly don't like the ATI stuff...i'm an NVidia man myself, and quite like the FX5900, although you can get a much better (and more expencive) card!!

i'm gonna get myself and FX5900 as a present when i pass my driving test!!
and then the world of flight simulation would feel a WHOLE lot more realistic!!

EHM-0654 Murray:
Chris, good to see I'm not the only person that just plain doesn't like ATI's PC graphics cards (don't get me wrong, love my GameCube and that has ATI Inside, I have just never gotten on with their AGP cards...)

So, just to make some of you jealeous, I'm a week or so away from ordering a GeForce 6800 GT (AGP) to replace my [borrowed from my housemate] FX5700...
