hello,
i found one card Sapphire X800 PCI-E 256MB DDR3, 256bit, Memory Clock 700MHz, Core Feq. 392MHz, TV-OUT, DVI, Full ret
and i was wondering if it is a good card, and how much does it afects that it has 256 bit insted of 128 ?
Thank you!
The ATI X8** range is not very good because it doesn't support Pixel Shader 3 which the next generation games will requier to run the games in directX 9. The Nvidia 6 series cards do support this feature.
Ignoring that. It is better to have 256b, as it has wider bandwidth, so it is better.
so then what about this:
Prolink PixelView GeFORCE 6600GT PCI-E, 128MB DDR3, 128Bit, Core Clock 500MHZ, Memory Clock 1000MHz
or maybe someone can sugest something?
You can go take a look at the benchmarks of the cards in the PCI-e review at www.tomshardware.com they are pretty good about explaining why one is better then the other in their recommendations.
