Right now I have the following card:
Radeon 9700 Pro and want to make a yupgrade because of Battlefield 2. I don't want another ATI card. They always seem to have problems. Like right now there's a problem with BF2 and supposedly there's going to be a patch from ATI in the future. I just don't like ATI and their drivers. When I yupgrade to a new driver it always gives me problems. I only got this card because it was cheap.
I want to upgrade and I want to go to Nvidia. I don't want to spend a fortune if I don't have to. I'm looking at two cards:
GeForce FX 5950 Ultra and the GeForce 6800 GT. I was looking at specs for both of the cards (as well as what I have now) on this website: http://www.pcvsconsole.com/features/video/
My question is this: Compairing both of the new cards I am considering how much of a benefit would I see in the 6800 GT as opposed to the FX. The 6800 has pixel pipelines 16x1 and the FX has 4x2. The 6800 has 525m vertice and the FX has 356M. The 6800 uses shader model 3.0 and the FX 2.0. Bandwidth is about the same.
I can get the 5950 a lot cheaper than the 6800.
