New Computer Video card question.

[gvayl]

Hi,
I'm getting a venice 3200 from monarch that has not shipped yet. I originally got a XFX6600 gt PCI-e. Now that the x800xl went down in price to $250 should I get that one instead? Is it worth the $70 extra for it? Also I heard people having trouble with the XFX cards...games freezing.

Thanks

I'd recommend it. The x800 is going to perform better and it will outlast the 6600GT. For only $70 more it seems very reasonable to me.

:thumbsup: I think it's worth the extra if you're going to be gaming.

so for 12x10 on a 16ms LCD you think the x800xl will work better?

If returning your 6600 GT isn't too hard, i would certainly go for it.

For $70 more, you have a far better card
