suggestions for a graphic card purchase
Definitely the 5600 Ultra, make sure uses the flipchip (or V2.0) GPU and you
will get much better performance. There is a review of the Prolink PixelView FX5600 256Mb Golden Limited (http://content.guru3d.com/article.php?cat=review&id=47) that looks promising. Prolink has three 256Mb models and two 128Mb models and their use of faster memory than spec'd gives this 256Mb model some really nice performance. They benchmarked it on an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ CPU and an Albatron KX400-8X motherboard with 512Mb of DDR333 memory so the performance should only get better if you have a faster CPU - nice to see someone doing a benchmark with "realistic hardware" that's VERY mainstream or even a few months off the bleeding edge; gives people a reasonable expectation of the product under review IMHO. Ron P.S. This is a 5600 Ultra GPU with 256Mb of memory, but you should expect similar results at up to 1280X1024 resolution with oinly 128Mb of video memory. "Fishstick" wrote in message ... Hi ppl I'm thinking about upgrading my computer with a new 3d card. Which one of these do you recommend? GeforceFX 5600Ultra 128MB GeforceFX 5600 256MB They are in the same priceclass. Thanks //Fishstick |
