OP OP H help1 Solid State Member Messages 9 Feb 19, 2010 #6 what i meant about the type of the motherboard is, does nvidia or does radeom make it because if it nvidia make it i will get the 250 but if radeom make it i will get the 5770. most likely u guys wont know.

M Muffin Man muffin enthusiast Messages 2,724 Location new york Feb 19, 2010 #7 well that't not even something that would matter, it wouldn't affect performance at all. if the mobo has an nvidia chipset, it won't be faster or better if you use a dedicated nvidia gfx card. if you're not brand loyal, then both the cards i linked would be better for the money than a gts 250. help1 said: most likely u guys wont know. Click to expand... we won't know because it doesn't mention a model or anything on the TD site, we're not psychics here.
