Hello Guys,
Been lurking around here for some time now, trying to catch up on things related to my future purchase of a gaming comp for around £1000 (including ALL parts). I am looking at at the Intel I5 that I found in the guide in the General Hardware section as my point of departure.
Some things are still very confusing to me, however, and I hope that I can get some help to sort out some basic stuff.
When I look at the Graphics and Video Section and, more specifically, at the ATI HD 4890 Series here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=56&subid=1403 I am a bit confused about what card to pick.
Is there, for instance, a direct relation between price and quality such that higher price is always better (barring OCUK's deal of the week)?
Is there anything in particular that I should look for that distinguishes one card from another on that list?
I think those are my main two questions for now. I would, of course, also greatly appreciate any additional information that you could give.
One more thing just to clarify: I have not decided whether to go for the ATI 4890 or for something else. My questions above are meant to be general.
Cheers!
