Hello Everyone, I am thinking of replaceing my PowerColor 1950Pro 512mb Pci-E with a newer Model of Video card. I am useing a LG 20'1 1680x1080 5000:1 contrast 2ms Refresh. I have been looking at getting a new video card for the past few weeks now. And i am stuck on getting a new. because of the good choices. Now from my understanding ATI has better picture image over nvidia.
so here are my qestion's.
1.How much would the picture image change going from a Ati card to an nvidia card?
2.Would there be that big of a differnce, I would see performace as far as playing wow:bc/COH: OF/Cod2/Cod4/bf2?
3.Which video card would suit me best?
Here are my spec's
Thermaltake Armor Series 2x80mm 2x120mm 1x250mm
Intel Pentium D 920 2.8/2x2mb/800 cooled by Zalman 9500
Asus P5k-V G33
Cosair XMS 2x2gb DDR2 800
WD Raptor 74gb 10k 16mb/WD 160gb 7.2k/16mb
Thermaltake 700watt 4 12V @ 18amps
OS:Windows XP Pro
I will be upgradeing the Pentium D to a Q6600 or Q9300 dont know which yet.
so here are the 3 video cards i am looking at.
Also if i am going nvidia would Evga be best?
8800GS
