Looking to get a new video card, would be sweet if I could find a site that would let me choose a few different cards and see how they stack up. I can't seem to find any good reviews that show all the cards I'm looking at heads up.
if anyone knows of one, great. If not, my budget is about 2 bills. Well I'd like to spend less. My GF has a 3200+ Sempron and just got an x1950, and Bioshock plays wonderfully maxed out on it. I don't expect to get a card that will play future games like Crisys super high res, but I should be able to get something pretty decent. here are the specs for the system I'm building
feel free to critique the components.
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA775
INTEL Core 2 Duo E6550
Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 Dual Channel Memory
up in the air about video cards, I'm looking at a 7900gs a x1950 and a 2600 hd. All really close in price, the 1950 is a 256 bit, where the 7900 is 128. Not sure how big a difference it will make in gaming, the cards are about $15 within one another. Heard mixed opinions about the 2600 hd. I'm leaning towards the x1950, but I'm definitely not loyal to a brand
have a Corsair HX520 PSU and my monitor is a 22" CRT, so resolution isn't an issue.
