Check out Tom's Hardware testing, probably others - try Googling http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031229/index.html 2. i got a psu 300watt supposedly a hidh quality one. And i would love to know if it gone a handle these card? Work it out; http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ 3. i dont know if i got the extra connector to power up these card or if it come with the video card or not. Most cards probably will come with a power splitter, but it is a generic cable used to split HDD power supplies, so any one will do. 4.does the motherboard has that particular connector to power up the videocard, i got an asus a7n8x-x rev2 nf2 As above...(if you are asking what I think you are.) |

Your power supply is too small for that hardware combination.

Yes, ATI is the answer if the question is "I want to get ****ed, do
you know which card I should buy?" After a fighting ATI products from 1994-1998 I switched to Nvidia, then at christmas time 2003 I bought into the "ATI has finally got their **** together" propoganda. I purchased a genuine retail box 9600pro and have had nothing but trouble out of it... so I went out and got a 5900xt (leadtek with 2.2ns ram) and it smoked the 9600pro like a cheap cigar. Overclocked, it smokes the 9800pro - but - where nvidia shines over ati so completely is non-game computing. Everything LOOKS better, everything runs better, and there are absolutely NO problems what so ever. Is this a 'troll'? No. It's the honest-to-god truth. After being ****ed by ATI for so long, I feel as though it's my life's ambition to make sure as many people know the evils of ATI as possible. ==================================== On Tue, 06 Apr 2004 19:20:07 +0200, Hubert H.P.

Your 1 in 10000 should we not buy a product because 1 in10000 are no
good? Or better yet, 1 in 100000 can't install a vidcard should we stop buying all vidcards? Judge wrote in message ... Yes, ATI is the answer if the question is "I want to get ****ed, do you know which card I should buy?" |

I didn't "buy" into anything when I decided to give ATI a try. After owning four Nvidia cards over that last 4 years. I did my homework and after a lot of reading I decided to go with the 9800Pro. I couldn't be happier. All my games run and look fantastic, I haven't had one problem with the drivers or the card, going from 2000Pro to XPPro was hassle free, and my 2D looks so much better I noticed it the sec my PC booted because the start up screens look better! I do smell a troll here, but I decided to feed it anyway because I sure would hate to have some poor guy believe this crap and stick with Nvidia when he could have the fantastic 9800Pro, and for a lot cheaper then Nvidia's flagship card to boot!

Way back when Adam was a cowboy I had a S3 2Meg card. Decided I wanted to play a few games so I brought a Nvidia TNT2 and it rocked. No problems. Then a while down the track I decided to upgrade to a Nvidia GeForce2 MX and it rocked. Loved it. A while after that I decided it was time to upgrade again but this time I was into alot of desktop and video work so I brought a Nvidia GeForce 4 MX460. It rocked too. Recently I thought I might like a few Dx9 features so I brought a ATi Radeon 9800PRO. And Guess what? It rocks too!!! AMD/Intel/Nvidia/ATi/ It doesn't matter. Whatever you pick you will always find at least one idiot who can't put a system together without problems. |
