Hi,
Currently have a 9800GT 512Mb Gcard. Looking to have a slight upgrade, hopefully around £100 mark. Saw Custom PC say that the new ATI cards were brilliant but can't remeber which card they said. Been looking at the shopping site and am confused with the numbers. My card at mo has:
Core Clock - 750Mhz
Mem Clock - 2000Mhz
BUT, Looking at the speeds of the ATI 48?? cards there slower, surely that can't be the case???
The cards I'm looking at are:
Sapphire HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDCP HDTV out PCI-E Graphics Card
Sapphire HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 HDMI DVI VGA PCI-E Graphics Card
XFX HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card
They all seem to be around the same speeds,
Core - 670-700Mhz
Mem - 400Mhz
Except the XFX card that has:
Core - 750Mhz
Mem - 3.6Ghz!!!! (this is what throws me!!)
The Nvidia's are,
PNY GTS250 512MB GDDR3 Dual DVI HDTV Out PhysX and Cuda ready PCI-E Graphics Card
XFX GTS250 512MB DDR3 Dual DVI HDCP HDTV out PhysX and Cuda ready PCI-E Graphics Card
ZOTAC GTX260 192 Core SYNERGY EDITION 896MB DDR3 Dual DVI HDTV PhysX and Cuda ready PCI-E Graphics Card
These are around the mark of
Core - 576Mhz / 738Mhz
Mem - 1998Mhz / 2200Mhz
Please could someone tell me which is the better card and why the numbers are similar but they say the cards run Crysis Max detail with no probs????
Thanks for your time,
Shaun.
