I'm so freaking confused! I'm not asking everyone to go beserk and turn into a "ATI vs Nvidia" thing. I'm not a super comp user, so sorry for the stupid questions, if they are.... that is. I have 2 people (real life people) telling me to go Nvidia/Intel, 1 is telling me to go Nvidia/AMD, 2 are telling me to go ATI/AMD. I'm dropping down like $2,300 for the comp! So I don't want to make the wrong choice. I'm a gamer BTW.
I heard processors are very bias towards certain graphics cards, is this true?
Games are purposely "optimized" towards either ATI or Nvidia, also correct?
Is a Nvidia/AMD combo bad to go with? Should I go ATI/AMD?
Nvidia better for gaming? ATI better for overall?
7800 GTX and the Radeon 850XT PE seem to be pretty close together on most gaming benchmarks, but which one will be more compatible with an AMD platform? That is my primary question.
Comps specs (not including graphics card)!
OCZ Titanium 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ ClawHammer 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor
Western Digital Raptor WD740GD 74GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive
Shuttle SN25P AMD Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64/Sempron nVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Barebone
Thank you!
