Hi folks,
Seems my Gigabyte 8500GT is playing up so I'm thinking of replacing it. That, and it's the slowest part of my system at the moment. Now having said that, I have no idea what kind of card to go for. The way I see it, my options are
- Gigabyte GT 220 1GB DDR3
- Gigabyte GT 240 1GB DDR3
- Sapphire HD 5670 512MB DDR5
- Sapphire HD 5670 1GB DDR5
- Gigabyte GTS 250 1GB DDR3
Honestly I know very little about the specific differences between these cards, except for price. I think it's fairly obvious the GTS 250 is better than the GT 240, which is better than the GT 220. No idea about ATI cards though except the RAM is better and it supports DX11, which the nVidia cards do not.
Can anyone give me some advice in terms of the quality of the cards; what the ATI card is like; which ones represent the best value for money etc?
Thanks
