Topic: Which graphics card should I get?

Scotty the Great Paragon Member # 1 Member Rated:	posted December 13, 2003 19:05 I'm upgrading my video card during the holidays as I said before, and was wondering what card you would recommend. Right now, I'm thinking about a Nvidia GeForce FX 5950, but I'm open to suggestions.

Look Scotty the card you mentioned is very good.NVIDIA products are almost perfect but before you decide what to buy read some reviews about NVIDIA's cards and then decide.because other cards are for games and others for offices (I am a fun of NVIDIA)

Scotty the Great Paragon Member # 1 Member Rated:	posted December 14, 2003 10:12 Well, right now it is between the Radeon 9800 XT and the Nvidia GeForce FX 5950. I think I'm gonna go with the Radeon after all, though:

Drivers are Good
HARDWARE IS BETTER.
radeon produces superior hardware, therefore, RADEON IS BETTER...
As a computer tech for my school and a person who built my own freaking computer... i have spoken

Scotty the Great Paragon Member # 1 Member Rated:	posted December 16, 2003 10:44 I built my own computer a few years back, but feel it's time for an upgrade to my graphics card, which was the only thing I really slacked on when building it. Either way, I'm probably gonna go with Radeon, and buy a card on e-bay because I can get it cheaper there than at stores.

Scotty the Great Paragon Member # 1 Member Rated:	posted December 16, 2003 15:17 Yeah, I noticed. The Dell I got a few years before building my own computer costed more and wasn't as powerful as mine.
