Gainward GTS 250 1MB good?

[Heraji]

I need a new graphic card. Right now I'm using MSI 8600 GTS. So here is some quick questions..


Should i buy a Gainward GTS 250?

If I buy it, is it best to run both 8600 and 250?

Thanks in advance

it all depends on the price and no, you can't run a 8600gts and a gts250

The price is about 106 pounds. I guess it's my 8600 that is too old?

Could use the GTS as a PhysX card. Might want to double check that the 5750 isn't around the same price. You might want to get that card instead.

The GTS 250 is a decent midrange card, a huge upgrade from your 8600 GT.


I would just sell your 8600 GT on ebay and use the extra money for another upgrade.

Yes, I think I'll do that. I could use the money for another RAM card. I'm running on 3 Gb 800 Mhz and 1 Gb 667 Mhz..

RAM card?

yeah its very good but I suggest HD 5770. GTX 260/HD 4870 performance aswell as DX 11, eyefinity etc etc.

 

[Heraji]

i believe (or at least hope) he means RAM stick

Whoops.. Yes, sorry ^^

I would pull out the 1GB 667mhz stick, its actually slowing down your 800mhz RAM since your computer will set speeds according to the slowest stick.

I know that. That's why I want to buy another 1 Gb ram with 800 Mhz


And thanks for all the answers guys

What?

Both the 5770 and 4870 are leaps and bounds faster, don't use those cards int he sentabnce after the new drivers.

(Or even before)
