I am thinking of upgrading my video card (thinking of a radeon) and I have a question.
I have one slot for the card to go in. The one I am using with my current card (a radeon x800 pro) So IÂ’ll have to take it out to put the other in. But will the other work before I run the install disk? It would be hard to run the installation software if I have no video. I have upgraded video cards before but I donÂ’t remember if the software needed to be fully installed before you could use them.
That was the important question but I might as well ask another. Anyone know if Radeon or Nvidia is better for gaming. I always heard Radeon was the best, and its what i use, but every time I get a game it has the Nvidia logo on there.
I decided to upgrade when I got rainbow 6 Vegas and noticed it need a card that is shader 3.0 enabled. I have seen some for around $200 which is acceptable. I might get a whole new computer at the end of this year so I donÂ’t need something too big. Just something that will get me till Christmas.
