Guide to Video Cards

[Schadenfroh]

worked on this for the past few weeks.

Guide to Video Cards

need feedback on how to improve it. Hopefully this can be used to answer many common questions regarding video cards. Im still ironing out bugs and adding new content. One problem with trying to cover so much material is that you cant really focus on one type of content in particular. Hope this helps

included in the guide to video cards are the following:

[*]Frequently Asked Questions
[*]Guide to AGP
[*]Guide to PCI
[*]Guide to PCI Express
[*]Buyer's Guide (an explanation of common suffixes of video cards and the differences in the types of video cards)
[*]Guide to Overclocking and Moding
[*]Guide to Video Card Jargon (glossary)
[*]Guide to Drivers
[*]Guide to Benchmarking
[*]Guide to Video Card Brands

I think you need to expand on some of your answers. A little bit more indepth than just "No" and "Yes". Just to cover more bases for the noobs. Other than that, great work!

 

[VIAN]

Yes, very vague.

Good job ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

You have the memory speed on the 6800u-ee wrong, it is 1200mhz. Also, the core speed on the x800xt-pe is 520mhz.

Looking good Froh!!!

I noticed your memory speed listed for the 6600GT is 500MHz. But for all the other cards you listed the DDR speed. If you follow suit, the 6600GT has 1GHz memory.

I'll keep sifting through to help out. This is going to be very useful. Very Nice Idea. Should be a permanent sticky when your through.

Keys.

Looks very promising

Nice job. I'd link to that xbit massive roundup somewhere as well.

FAQ explanations added for most

Dude at this rate you should just go out and make your own hardware website like Anand did when he was around your age. You've reached a level of knowledge that most people 10 years older than you do not possess.

In essence my response is to sticky the thread.

 

[lopri]

Neat guide. Recommended to my brother for reading.

 

[adlep]

Sticky and ellite!

 

[Delorian]

missing some mods like 9800 se -> 9800 pro and the FireGL/Quadro mods. Other than that, excellent read. My vote is for sticky!!

While i thank you for support my thread is stalled right now as my AP Homework is drowning me, however Schadenfroh knows more than me and his guide is generally better (until i unstall mine and fix it up ) .

Nice job! Hell at this rate why dont we just combine both of ours, and have one awesome one

could you cover these too?

... and I don't want to be an annoying newbie, but for those of us taking on a laptop instead of a desktop, maybe there would be a chance to include some discussion re. that too... ? (FYI I'm in the CAD/DCC side of things, not gaming, so specs are great for me but evaluations of cards solely on gaming ability isn't so much...)

the newer geforce to quadro mods are kinda meager to find, i will post some radeon to firegl mods later. if anyone could give me links to newer 5x00 to quadro mods, please do.
