Simple question

[jonnylloyd]

Which of these two cards is better for my mum to put in her desktop? All she uses it for is a bit of photo manipulation, WoW (for some reason) and she will be playing Skyrim on it.

XFX Radeon HD 5670 - Graphics adapter - Radeon HD 5670 - PCI Express 2.0 x16 - 1 GB DDR3 - DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort

AXLE GeForce 9500GT - Graphics adapter - GF 9500 GT TurboCache supporting 1GB - PCI Express 2.0 x16 - 1 GB DDR2 - DVI - HDTV out

I've left her to sort this for herself, but she's finally bugged me enough to get me to ask about these two. They ARE her final choices as I'm not putting up with her messing around any more and looking at others!

Tell mum to go with the 5670.

You're sure btw mobo and psu support it ?

I'd go with XFX... but good luck running Skyrim well(on high settings)... depending on her other components and your Resolution...

P.S. - Your mum rules...

For Skyrim, you'd want a card in the Radeon 6/5770 range, although it will help a ton if you listed the other system specs. It will run on a 5670, and if the rest of the PC is a bit older may not need anything higher to match the system, but a 6770 or a 5770 will be much better for games.
