Hi there
i decided to buy a new graphic card (AGP and at least 256MB) and i'm not really sure what would be good for my computer.
At the moment i'm running this system:
Intel P4 2.6 GHz
1GB DDR Ram
Asus A9550 GE (AGP 8x, 128MB)
Some people told me, that nvidia cards would be better than an ATI, and i thought a nvidia 7600 GT or 6800 GT would be good.
But now my problems I havn't enough knowledge about graphic cards too decide whats more important for the performance of a gfx card.
If its the memory bus (128bit @ 7600GT-------256bit @ 6800GT)
or the memory clock speed (1400MHz@7600GT-------1000MHz@6800GT)
or the GPU clock speed (560MHz@7600GT-------350MHz@6800GT)
or the pipelines (12pixel/5 vertex@7600GT-------16pixel/6vertex@6800GT)
Another point is, i wont spend to much money in my old system, so the price range of a 7600GT or 6800GT are ok but not too much more.
What i've nowhere seen was the power consumption. I know it cant be said for the gfx chip, but probably someone know if one of these needs much power.
I hope someone can help me and precise cards are welcome too.
Thankfully
Pascal
