i just built my new computer, but the video card im running is terrible. i have an open pcix16 slot and i am looking for something in the 200-300 $ range.
when you say you have an open PCIE slot, does that mean you already have one card in a slot (your mobo has 2 slots total?) or does it have on board video that your using? PCI slot card?
Cause if you have 2 slots and already have one card in there, getting another one will help as long as both are SLI/Crossfire ready and they are the same card.
Please explain a little more to help us understand your situation/problem. What's your system specs? Mobo/CPU/PSU/GPU, etc...
im not that big of a gamer tho, is there anything cheaper i could get. 7800, 6800, 7600? most of my time is taken up by v-ball, so i dotn want to go overkill. i mostly play bf2 and the cs series. i would like to run bf2 on high tho.
Edit: I believe in simple terms the bit of the memory somewhat controls how quickly it is used up so a higher bit=more efficent memory arrays.
If you'd like something cheaper I have a 6800xt which runs fear on medium settings no lag, high settings with some when lots happens. It costed me 99 usd after rebate. Am very happy with it, well for now.
