Should i get a Nvidia 8800 GTS 320 MB?
- supports direct 10x
- newest video card
- 8800 series by nvidia are best graphic cards for the new windows vista currently
-supports pixel shader 4
or should i get:
ATI Radeon X1950XT 512MB VIDEO CARD
- good graphics
- supports directx 9
- has pixel shader 3
- best ati graphics card currently
-etc.|||nvidia 8800gts mb,is better in every way, check out toms hardware guide in some of the benchmarks it was faster than the x1950xtx. and the x1950xtx is priced $60-80 dollars more http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/02/12/t…|||I have the same dilemna and I've been doing research for the last few days between the two cards.
First...you should be aware of the huge price difference between the two. The 8800 is around $600 while the ATI one is around $200-300. Thats about double the price.
Second..according to cnet and various other sources, Nvidia is NOT the best card for gaming. Cnet points out that ATI cards are capable of supporting both anti-aliasing and high dynamic range lighting effects at once while Nvidia can only do one at the same time.
http://reviews.cnet.com/PNY_Verto_GeForce_7900_GS/4505-8902_7-32065025.html?tag=also
But its really just a personal matter of taste between the two giants.
My conclusion, is to wait for the price drop in Directx10 cards when newer ones come out, if you can wait that long. There arent that many Directx10 games coming out and most game makers will still be developing games using Direct9 unless everyone switches over to Vista...which could be a few years.
Remember, vid cards get better every year..so what could be the best right now will be obsolete in a year or two.|||If you're going to be gaming go with the Nvidia. If you're not go with the ATI. Any serious gamer knows the GeForce is the way to go. Go out to firingsquad, tom's hardware or any numerous others and ask.|||Are you kidding? Have you seen how Crysis looks on DX10? Definately get the NVIDIA 8800. Dx10 is a huge jump up from dx9, and the ati just wont match up.|||It really all depends on the price difference.
Personally I would buy the 8800 because of its DX10 support.
But if the price difference was more than say, $50 I would buy the ATI card.|||I think when it comes to video cards it's all a matter of personal taste and opinion and personally, I don't like ATI, so go with Nvidia.
Regardless, in this case, the Nvidia card has better specs and options than the ATI one.|||As a friend that doesn't know you. i have to say not to buy any videocard right now.
R600s from ATI are coming out in one month (DX10 as well)
all prices will drop in both companies and short after, the 8900 series is coming out
wait a month
thne buy

Best ATI Graphics Cards...?
What are some good graphics cards to play supreme commander and basically all games including crysis...and make sure its a crossfire because i'll be getting 2 graphics cards.|||4890- get 2 of them and xfire
4870x2- 2 cards in one|||If your budget isnt real high look at the ATI-3870, 512mb ddr4, 320 pixel shaders, 256bit, and fast clock speeds. I have only one, Im not a hard core gamer but I am impatient on the pc and I switch screens a lot so I am into gaming pcs as they fit my needs. They are 85.00 dollars at Newegg.com.|||I am using a single ATI 4850 512mb and it's great. I'd have to upgrade my power supply to run two of them with a bridge.
I get 91 fps with COD4 Modern Warfare and fantastic graphics.

What Company Makes The Best Ati Graphics Cards?
?|||ATI
ATI Technologies Inc. (ATI) was a major Canadian designer and supplier of graphics processing units and motherboard chipsets. In 2006, the company was acquired by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and was renamed the AMD Graphics Product Group (or sometimes named ATI Technologies, although the ATI brand was retained for graphics cards.|||They are all about the same as far as quality. Basically all those companies get the same cards but slap on their cooler and logo on it. Some will overclock the GPU and sell it for a bit more. So what you want to look at is which company has the best customer support and return policy in case something goes wrong. Sapphire is a top seller but lately have been having reports of poor customer service. ASUS is very good and has a great reputation along with Diamond and HIS.|||K ATI doesnt make cards.... its sapphire who officially makes them for ATI(manufacturing division). You'll have to cough a little bit more up, but the quality is best. No cheap @$$ capacitors or half placed heatsinks|||that's kinda like asking what franchise makes the best quizno's subs... they're all different per card, to find the one you want, look on the card reviews at
www.newegg.com|||lol

Best ATI graphics card? X1900GT crossfire or XTX1900?
I was wondering what would faster, two x1900GT cards or one radeon x1900 xtx?
and no, my computer cant fit two x1900 xtx
any ideas?
Id like to spend around 300-400|||Two cards are better. The X1950 Pro is due out in October with a price of $199.00 according to this:
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?…|||If i were you... The X1900XTX. This is currently, according to reviews, the best card out there.

What is the best ATI graphics card for around 200 that will run in crossfire mode?
im looking at the radeon 4800 series but im unsure as to which card will work best. i will be using a PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot. computer power and compatibility will not be a problem i just have to decide on a graphics card. i will be running 2 cards in crossifre mode after i decide on a card.
please tell me of a specific card not just the series.
i will be doing gaming as well as photo and video editing.
thank you|||The 4800 series is a very good choice, and I would suggest on getting the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… item here. It's not only decently under $200, but it's an exceptionally powerful card with Crossfire capability.
Enjoy!|||$200 for both cards, or just one of them?
The Radeon 4770 is cheap (around $100) and pretty decent performance-wise (just a notch under the more expensive 4850).|||cuuzzz it high tech|||if you want to spend $200 total, get two 4850s as they are $100 each.
if you are looking at $200 each, look into the 4890.
you can also get the 4870 x2 which is two 4870s on the same card in crossfire. its the same as getting two 4870s but it only takes up one slot. the 4870 x2 is about $380.|||XFX has an HD 4870 comes with a dual lifetime warranty they are on tiger for about 160$ that's the 1 gig of GDDR5 memory models. I just sold the one I bought brand new for 120$ thats 80$ less than what I paid because of how hot/loud they run and the card was took to much juice imo. I hear the 4770's are amazing in Xfire though and are cheap to buy and also a lot less power hungry/noisy to. I recently dropped my crossfire rig for SLI but if I had to build another id use the 4770's.

What is the Best ATI Graphics Card Setup?
Which would be better, one 5970, or two 5870?
Should I set the two up with crossfireX, or some other way?
If you have any other Ideas that you think would be better, please tell me!|||5970 is better because it has native hardware crossfire which is better than the crossfire bridge. it saves space and power (and slots). Also u can have 2 5970s in crossfire for the ultimate performance.

Need the best ATi graphics card for a 1280x1024 monitor that costs less then 300$?
My friend has a 1280x1024 monitor.He needs an ATi gpu that costs less then 300$?
I'm thinking about the HD 5770 but not sure.|||For that resolution, everything above a 4850 is a overkill (hell a 4850 is still an over kill)
I would get a 4770 maybe. Basically everything over $150 is an overkill and more than 512mb ram is an overkill.
If you plan on upgrading your monitor later, get the best you can for $300 (5850) or a 5770.
If you dont need to have ATi, I would get a GTS 250.
(Overkill because you wont need so much power for that resolution!)|||The 5830 is the best ATI card for under $300, however, it's not necessary for such a low resolution. Unless he plans on getting a new monitor with a larger resolution, he doesn't need a 5830. However, the 5830 would be more future proof and a better choice if he thinks that he'll be getting a new monitor before he gets a new computer.
If not, than a 5770 will be good.
5830 - $270 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
5770 - $180 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||if he can afford 20USD more then this will be as good as 1.8x 5770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
