Graphics card Rankings

well then forget about the numbers....

That doesn't sound all that thrilling to me though. CPUs and GPUs get hot enough on their own, I don't want to see what would happened if you put the two of them together.

Not to mention that kinda ruins your choices for you...besides the bottleneck loss, what's the real benefit?

And if I'm just not getting something, sorry I sound stupid. :[

It's made for the low to mid-end market, and notebooks.
Basically for people who don't need a huge amount of GPU power, but powerful enough to be useful for things like HD video playback.
It will increase the capabilities of low-end PC's, but it's not meant to replace high-end discrete graphics cards

Because you have to change the numbers for every single card down the list every time you add one.

maybe we should make it into a spread sheet instead. that would solve that problem. still a PITA.

Wasn't Rican working on something like that awhile ago?

When I update it I just plug it in excel and knock the numbers down

 

[Baez]

Yeah we don't change them every time. It's just an excel copy/paste.

Don't mean to revive this bad boy (though it's a great thread)

Can anyone tell me off the top of their heads what's the best card I can get with a 300-400 watt PSU?

Depends on the quality of the PSU, if it's 400W and really good quality, then a GTX260, if it's Dell-quality then I would barely recommend a 9800GT.

How many amps on the 12v rail?

ok, so I've been outta the loop, what are the top cards right now? actually, could you add in top processor *if nehalem came out, what about mobo's?* and any other outstanding hardware BIGS?
