Darken Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 whose Better....... ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 'Better' is subjective, once again. Both cards are extremely good and I dare to say that there aren't too many differences at least on those high-end cards. The problem is that there are ATi fanboys and nVIDIA fanboys, that start to tell you why ATi cards suck and why nVIDIA cards rule....and vice versa. I can tell you this much that if you go with ATi, don't use it's official drivers, use 3rd party ones like Omega. I have an ATi Radeon myself, and I'm quite happy with it. I could say get ATi and forget nVIDIA, but that would make me sound like a fanboy, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I am sort of split, but nVidia's latest cards are the best ones imo, because they take the old school SLI and GeForce 4 styles and make it awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darken Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 OK guys...what I can get with 60~100$ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 SLI is a total waste of money. For 2 reasons: 1) only like a dozend games actually work with SLI, most games do not support SLI. 2) A single card of a better chip is usually faster than 2 cards in SLI mode. See the 7800, which is faster than 2x 6800 in SLI.Besides that you will have more advanced features with a newer card, like Shader Modell 3 for example. So dont go with SLI. Its a waste of money. Besides that you should choose nvidia over Ati. I have 5 comps all running on nvidia from geforce2 to geforce4 and one running an fx5200 while my new comp runs on a 6600gt and never had any problems with it, while i and other people i know do have (had) probs with Ati. For me all the text in windows flickered heavily, no matter what driver i used. So nvidia all the way. Dunno the price in $, but you should prefer a GT version. Dont fall for the Turbocache stuff, this sucks major too. I got the Asus nx6600gt and im very pleased with it. Best value for your money as of today.

suvo Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 well like agozer said the cards are similar. I have a Nvida 6600GT X2 and have had no problems. I got it at the start of the year. What ever you can pick up cheap(er) and your happy with the quality and proformance of the card just buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
