Video Card Question- I'm an idiot

PizzatheHut06 · Jul 12, 2004

I know this is a stupid question, but who is the manufacturer of this video card:

Is it actually made by nVidia? I couldn't find a name on it like Gigabyte, Chaintech, or anyone like that.

nVidia... it says it on the box...

PizzatheHut06 · Jul 12, 2004

Ah yes...see, I'm an idiot

Are the cards made by nVidia and ATI better than when Chaintech, Gigabyte, and others make them?

compy · Jul 12, 2004

i believe so, that's what hear, they say they are more reliable.

well, the chip is nVidia, but it seems that the whole unit may be from rosewill. . .

i dunno, though, cause im more of an ATI guy

compy · Jul 12, 2004

yeah sorry i didn't eddit that. i just found out that nVidia only makes chip sets.

if youre gonna be gaming though, dont get an fx5200

something a little better

or ati9600xt, 9800pro, 9800xt, x800

compy · Jul 12, 2004

yeah i agree with kol, go with some thing a bit better and aget a 128 to if you're on a budget.

koldapu · Jul 12, 2004

but then again, if youre gonna do gaming, its gonna be at least $150

compy · Jul 12, 2004

true, unless you get some thing like a 9800 pro, 250 i htink it is.
