Hey Everyone,
I'm building a new computer, primarily used for gaming GR:AW, which is coming out in May. I realize I want a great video card, but want to stay around $300 so I'm not completely busting my budget. I've come up with a few choices and would like to hear some opinions/answers to my questions.
512 MB GDDR3 Sapphire Radeon X1800XT
It seems that would be a good purchase - $309.
512 MB GDDR3 ATI Radeon x1800xt
That one is $339 - and after a $50 MIR.
They seem to have the exact same specs but the price is different - is this just because the manufacturer differs?
Anyone have any general advice or other recommendations or do people pretty much think the first link is the way to go?
Thank you in advance.
