Is it just me..

... or is the range of cards available just staggering!
So hard to decide on what to actually buy

Well im learning a lot by reading stickies and comparisons so I dont wanna spam the board with a "spec me a card" thread. Id rather do my own legwork first, best way to learn i spose

But the offer of help is always nice if I get stuck, Im just finding more cards seem to appear every day!

 

[Cleeecooo]

what sort of budget do you have and what do you want to use it for?

 

[=XDC=FluphyBunny]

I would agree that the card makers tend to oversaturate the market with too many models and then too many variations of those models. Having said that out of all of them there tends to be only a few that are good value depending on your budget.

 

[Cleeecooo]

There's a card from AMD and one from NV for each budget

I do see what you mean ........for example 5 EVGA gtx580's it does seem a little excessive.

Not really different to the way it has always been:

1. Pick a budget
2. Check performance/benchmarks for cards within that budget
3. Add/subtract your Nvidia/ATI bias
4. Buy card.

3. Add/subtract your Nvidia/ATI bias

I know of some peoples bias but where did it start? ive always wondered

"Is it just me or is the range of cards available just staggering?!"

Would've been a better (less annoying) thread title

Luring you in with intriguing titles *Evil laugh*

But yes perhaps it was a bit vague
