VDO Card Question

[callmesteve]

Hi guys,

Just had a quick question on a video card

What do you guys think of it and do you think 219.00 + SH is any good?

what are you going to use it for and how long do you want it to last? what kind of system will you be putting it in?

Well I would like it to last for a while.... and I'm going to be playing WoW. Currently running an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro card...

It will be a mild jump in performance, but not worth 220$+ SH to me.

yeah, that's a pretty good price for a card that can hang with a 6800gt for the most part. but it's not a big enough jump for you to justify buying it, i don't think. this costs a little more but it would be well spent. four more pipes than the x800pro.

if i had to guess, i would say if the x800pro would have been included in the above test it would've gotten around 35FPS, give or take a couple of frames. looks like a 6600gt is pretty kicka$$ for WoW.

Hrm, thanks Heckler 5th I'll have to keep that in mind
