Looking at an 2400xt.

Thanks

No, always go for GDDR3 at least..

On that card, it doesnt really matter.

Its so low end, i dont think itll make any difference.

the extra memory bandwidth will make more of a difference than the extra framebuffer... even at relatively high resolutions, becauyse the increased rate of data transfer will be more improtant than the storage... thats why the 4870 is ideal for huge resolutions

Its a 2400XT...that doesnt matter here.

lol watever is cheaper.

With a 64 bit bus width, it could be 256MB GDDR2, and it'd still perform about the same.

What do you guys think is the best card under $100? Dont really care if its nvidia or ati, just looking for a low end that can run aero decently for under 100.

Thanks

9800 GT's for under $100. Considering they compete with my 4830, its definitely worth every penny.

Take your pick, all of them will run miles around the 2400XT.

Does GDDR 4 or 5 have that advantage over 3 as well?
