Hope you all had a nice Christmas.
I need to upgrade my PC's video card as it cannot run SIMS 2 or Age of Empires III smoothly with the settings at high (and low settings aren't worth it). I don't need a high end video card as these games are indeed intensive, but not that intensive e.g. FPS, therefore nVidia 8800GTS's or whatever aren't necessary (but I would love to have one). Something cheap but easily 'overclockable' i.e. pipelines can be opened easily and ect.
I wouldn't mind using an ATI card either (you can switch between nVid and Ati cards right?), I'm interested in these but I need all of your expert help :
1. Buy XFX nVidia GeForce 8400GS 256MBÂ PV-T86S-WAHG from CCL - Online Retailer of the Year 2007
2. Buy Inno3D 1024MB GeForce 8500GTÂ I-8500GT-I4F3D from CCL - Online Retailer of the Year 2007
Ugh, there's too many!
Any help is welcome and of course, appreciated!!
