Video Card

Really no difference , grab the cheapest one you can find. Evga and BFG have a lifetime warranty.

ya for my present needs your suggestion is all i need. But i am trying to proof myself with the technology atleast for a year or so. In future if i want to play any other game then i wont have to shop for a new card then.

thanks

thank you. I'll try the one best buy sells, i think its the BFG version. I want to buy B & M and try to fit the card in my computer.
Not sure what BB's policy, if i had to return the card if it doesn't fit. I'll go check it out.

Dell card never came, it keeps getting postponed. But i was lucky at the local BB store, i picked up the BFG, last piece.

I have a question, when i play wow i am getting 38 FPS with the new card. Is that the optimum or it i can get more out of it? I have wow running at max settings.

Currently i have 2x1gb and 2x512mb ram on my system. I checked the FPS in nagrand outside, more specifically near the nesingway camp.

I have read somewhere that people get 70FPS so i was wondering if i need to change any settings on the card.

I just installed the card and the drivers for it. I have the nvidia control panel which has lot of settings in it but i havent changed anything on it.

I'll google it & see if there is any setting i need to change
