ulias · 10-08-2007

guys im planning on getting a new graphic card, im sick of my 6600, so im thinking about getting a new one , but im not sure what to get ,and nvidia or an ATI card?
nvidia choice : 8500 gt 512 ddr2/ 7600gt 256ddr3
ATI choice : x1650 512ddr2 / RD2600pro 512 ddr2 note the prices have a 50$ margin between the cheapes betwean these and the most expensive one,

i would wait for the next nvidia model, they would have perfectly adapted their architecture and driver models for dx10.

for gaming use the nvidea is preferable!!!!

I have ATI Radeon X1300 512mb and it says no to nothing lol
I have a Geforce on my old pc FX 5200 128mb and working just fine.
But in general i prefer ATI even thought i am not much into games but it seems more professional when it comes to graphics...

if u want to buy a good and worth-the-money vga u must buy a directx 10 gpu because u will need that in vista and the newly coming dx10 games for the future,halla2 which graphic card u wanna buy, well u need to tell us ur budget cuz money is everything here

**Kingroudy** · 10-08-2007

choose a DX10 card, and between the 2 available cards, go for the Ati as it offers better performance. the 8500 gt is not that booomba, if u said 8600 gts i would say go for it.

ATI all the way they are the gold trophy graphics winners

No way is ATI the best just look at the performance comparisons, the highest tier nvidia gpu always gets better scores then the highest tier ATI one. I would wait for the next nvidia model, probablt the 9000 series, cause they would have fully grasped dx10 and patched all of the problems. Should be coming out soon i think.

**Kingroudy** · 10-09-2007

i don't know how soon the 9000 series will come out, because there is still a whole 8900 to be released, and ati still can't match the 8800gtx, so nvidia has got time.

I advice u to go for GeForce 8600 GT.
IT's 512MB DDR3 128 Bit... It's a great VGA better than 8500GT plus it's cheap
it costs u between $200 to $230.

I bought one before 4 days and it's fantastic.
