Hi chaps, as is usually the case it's been a while since I got a graphics card and I'm completely bewildered with all the X1800's 1900's 7800's GTX etc
I've no idea about the differences between crossfire or sli or if I'll need it.
If I rough out the rest of the specs could you please recommend me some cards.
PCI Express, single 19" flat panel, will be used for flight sims but generally day to day internet browsing and office work so it must be silent or at least very quiet.
So what can it be, one good card or two cheaper ones in sli/crossfire?
Budget: around £150 but I'd be interested to see either side of this figure.
Edit, and should I be choosing a particular speed processor to match the card so there isn't a bottleneck? I was thinking AMD 64 route.
