Sera Otoro Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 right, im having a little issue here that i could use some help with, im looking for a new graphics card, and ive decided on two, problem is, i cant decide which one:Nvidia GeForce 9800 GX2orNvidia GeForce GTX 280as you can see its pretty much the top two of Nvidia's cards, any suggestions as to which one i should go with? im hoping to get it by next week or the week after...EDIT: not looking for ATI cards, but if you have other Nvidia cards to suggest, just post here, ive got a 1000W PSU so itll handle the card, i also run XP, not Vista...

Phillip Hultcrantz Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I know you have it narrowed down to those two cards... but honestly, your better off saving a crap load of money and getting an ATI 4850. It's only slightly slower than the GTX 280 and it's a hell of a lot cheaper. but between your two, if your PSU can take it, go for the 9800 GX2.

Cyphre Iredell Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Sadly Sera has since appended her post that hereby disregards all ATI suggestions. If you wish to provide something constructive, please do so within the context of the original post; being an nVidia card suggestion.Money also didn't appear to be an issue, so 'bang for your buck' is fairly worthless.

Venes Dagger Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I would avoid ATI unless you can prove it can handle secondlife. My desktop has one. I had to comb their website to find an up-to-date driver just to open the client, and it's still laggy as all get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
