HIS ATI Radeon HD 2900 GT SILENT Heatpipe 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Or

OcUK ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

I will be using a Asus VW193S 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black with the Rig which its highest resolution is 1400x900 Which GFX card should I get?

I'd say the 2900GT, its much more future proof.

Tdh1987 · 22 Nov 2007 at 20:38

Infact neither, get a 3850Pro for £111.

3850 is my vote (have one coming tommorow).

You can't afford 12 pounds?

It's really, really worth it.

sell a "candid" photo of gf / sis / mum ( if really stuck ) on fleabay for £10 and get that 3850 fgs !

IamMed · 22 Nov 2007 at 21:39

Buy one less round in the pub?

3850 will be the better buy

Indeed I'm jealous I want all but the GFX card

I'd swap but I'm not that out of order lol

Would have swapped the quad for a 6550 and gotten a better graphics card tbh.

JoeBoi · 22 Nov 2007 at 23:10

Can always swap the GFX card next year if they want to the new Nvidia Cards so least its got quad core till then altho suppose none to about a few games support it

glad you picked your card
