which video card...?

[jac006]

*sigh* I'm still considering on which card to buy. I have only $200 right now, because the system which I was going to build, has been on hold because of college funding. (yeah yeah). So right at the moment, I havae a funding of $200. Which card do you guys recommend? Personally, I like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125164
because of the 256mb of memory. But also this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102463
becuase of the all-in-one thing it has. Also http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102529 Then http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127176.

Man, if you take into consideration core speed-memory speed ratio, it's really easy:

It says the Newegg cannot find the product. Is that the Leadtek PX6600GT TDH Extreme Geforce 6600GT 128MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI-Express x16 Video Card?

Yeah, but wouldn't an x800 compare to be a good choice too? On the otherhand, what about 256mb? Doesn't more memory mean better performance? Or is it just the gpu and not really the memory?

 

[Marshillboy]

I just talked to my local PC Stop guy, and he said memory really dosen't matter, you gotta take into consideration more the GPU and (although not so much) RAM speed

 

[Marshillboy]

...but the X800 DOES have 256-bit instead of 128-bit, so you decide which is more important, bit size or gpu/ram speed

 

[jac006]

I want to play CS:S, Half Life 2, Doom 3, etc. Which is better? 256 bit or a better gpu? I want good display and fast speeds and good lighting etc. What is better?

get the x800 it will out perform the 6600GT in CS:S HL2 and maybe Doom 3 not sure though. GET THE X800 and is it the pro model? Just wondering.
