Alienware aurora help...?

if i get the alien ware aurora with dual ati graphics cards ( the best ati graphics cards) and intel i7 ,,, how much fps will i get in counter strike source high quality|||With a rig like that, more than you'll ever need....

What are the best graphics cards i can get for gaming?

i dont care about the price. i want the best ati graphics card and the best nvidia graphics card.|||The first thing to finding a good graphics card is finding out how much VRAM is has. (Video RAM). All the graphics cards are named "Bla Bla 8600 GS XTA Bla bla", but what you need to do is find one with a high amount of VRAM.



I have an Nvidia Graphics card with 512mb VRAM, (which can run demanding games such as Call of Duty 4 no problem), and if you want a REALLY great Video Card, get a video card with 512mb VRAM or more. You can get cards with 768MB VRAM. A 512mb VRAM card costs anywhere between £50-£120 (UK). If you're in the USA, I don't know how much they cost over there (sorry). I bought my Graphics card for £55 which is a great deal.



A card with a higher amount of VRAM will obviously cost more. Remember though, you need a FAST processor and a high amount of RAM aswell as a kick-*** graphics card. 2GB RAM is how much you should have if you don't want problems.



So yeh, find a card with 512mb VRAM or more, and look around for the best deal.



Also, what you could do, is take a look at Gaming PCs online, and see what graphics cards they come with, and look around for those cards.|||Check the link below.It's an online store for everything computer related.They have reviews and ratings to let you actually know which products are the best|||check out this one from nvidia its only $3,000|||You're going to get a lot of different opinions on this, so I just wanted to remind you to check the watts on your current psu (power supply). Then check the system requirements on the various video cards.|||one of the best nvidia cards currently available...and it is a good deal at this price:

this would be about the only ati offering to even come close in performance:



http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||As papa stated, look at how many watts your Power Supply can deliver.



You need to calculate how much your system needs. Be sure to include CPU (65-150watts), GPU(30-180watts), hard drive (7watts ea), motherboard (30-50W), sound card (3-15W), DVD (4W) etc and so on.



Then you have to decide on interface. Most pc's are PCIe but if you have an old pc, you MIGHT be AGP.



Then NVidia is usually the best for gaming. I would recommend an 8600GT as a minimum for gaming. I would state the 7 series, but it is going by the wayside. I also dont know much about the new 9 series.



IF you can support SLI (Scalable Link Interface), that provides VERY good gaming - but 1) You motherboard has to support it and 2) Your power supply has to support it.



When looking at Video Cards, make sure:

1) Has enough watts to power your system

2) Has enough power on the 12V rail (shown as +12v@18A on the power supply label - this means it has 216Watts to supply all the objects on the 12V rail.



Good Luck

Going to buy a new graphics card?

What's the best ATI graphics card that I can get that will be able to play Battlefield 3 on full graphics with no problems? I don't care how much it will be.|||Well you also have to consider the PSU, you need to get a estimate of the total power your system is going to be using... The 6990 is the best, then the 5970, the 6970, then the 5870 then the 6950... The 69xx series are the best...|||The BEST? Well that's a loaded question....



The highest-end AMD card on the market is the Radeon HD 6990, but it's very expensive, noisy, runs hot and draws a lot of power. Most systems don't have a power supply strong enough to run the 6990, so you'd probably have to purchase a new power supply first.



And you'd be able to play with a Radeon HD 6970 just as well- that's a better buy.|||a Radeon HD 6950 for under 300 is high on the list but nividia has GeForce GTX 570 for a bit over 300. the main issue is with how much dedicated memory that you have. 1 gb should do you in general but thats beside the point. i'de go with the nividia|||I will go for the gtx 570 or even older version of gtx 480 for the value of performance. HD6990 is way to expensive.

What is the best ATI Graphics card for video editing?

I am looking for a lowish cost (around £50/$70) graphics card for my dads pc. It needs to be good enough to cope with hd video editing in Vegas or Movie Maker and will never get used for any kind of gaming.

I thought perhaps the HD5450 or HD4650 but I don't know enough about the importance of DDR2 v 3, 512 v 1GB or 64 v 128 bit. I obviously know which is better, but not how important they are in relation to editing over say gaming.

Am happy to pay a bit more for the right card but don't want to waste money on features and spec that he will never use.

The PC spec is Phenom 965 AM3, 4Gb ram, Asus M4A78LT-M Motherboard, Windows 7 64bit



Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Cheers.|||To be honest, I didn't even read the rest of the question, but let me just tell you that the graphics card isn't all that important for video editing. It's more important that you have a powerful CPU.|||Id say go with spending a bit more money and grab a 4850. Its definately worth it.

What is the best ATI graphics card that an Asus M2N68-LA (Narra3) motherboard can run ? ?

ideally i would like to purchase a 4870 1gb but if thats not possible then would a 4850 work ok on this motherboard?|||It has one PCI Express x16 slot for a graphics card.



450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended

What is the best Ati graphics card for ~£150?

I'm building a new PC and was wondering what graphics card to get. I have around £150 and my spec so far is -



Intel i5 75

Asus P7P55D - Evo

4GB RAM - 1333 MHz

650W PSU

2x Seagate 250Gb 8Mb cache RAID 0|||Get 4870x2 with 2gb memory gddr5.it will cost u around £140.it supports dx10.1.if u want dx11 then get 5770.its not powerful as 4870x2 but still not a bad choice.|||You could get the Radeon Hd 5830 or even the GTX460.....



GTX 460---You can find some 768mb versions under 200.00usd....

You can find the Radeon 5830 at around 200.00usd and under........http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…



Personally I would go for the GTX460(I only use ATI cards) as its a very good card and runs cooler and uses less power than the 5830.....



If you don't like any of those cards then the 5770 would be a decent card to go with...You have the power supply though for a higher end card like the 2 I mention......
