OK, I'm stuck. I can not figure out which video card to go with. I do not play a lot of newer games but I do play Dark Age of Camelot a lot and enjoy maxing out the settings, also the RvR can be graphics intense. I also enjoy some Counter Strike:Source from time to time and who knows what game will catch my eye in the future. The card I get will need to be a decent card for the next 2-3 years before my Fiance lets me upgrade again.
I am looking at two different cards (from any manufacturer):
ATI x1800xt 512
or
ATI x1900gt 256
Currently the 1800 is beating the 1900 in most tests but it is running off an old core and the drivers are not fully optimized on the 1900 yet. Am I better off having the extra ram on the older chipset or less ram on the newer chipset?
Thank you for your help.
