Im just on a bit of a mess about here, this is not exactly Mission critical, but most of my Cards in my systems, are ATI.
I currently only have two nVidia cards now, and they're both large GTX470 things.
Now, they are fine for what I want them for, however one is in my main Linux PC and I sort of do fancy giving it a small upgrade and I do want it for basic gaming, and Iwill be honest with you, but the games I play, dont need a super powerful card... If I am honest, the 470 plays the games I want it to just fine, however, if I buy another card, I should not waste money by simply buying an updated card, I should get a better card, a faster card of course, but at teh same time, I dont want to waste money.
Its a shame cos I got an RX380 in my daughters PC and thats not played a game, EVER, but ATI under Linux are not as well supported as nVidia!
Hell, Im waffling...
Anyway, looking at 1030 and 1050 cards that are in the £80 to £100 range... What are these like?
I am thinking of a stubby sized one with a single 80mm fan on.... Maybe the mid-sized with 2x80mm
How are they compared to the GTX470? Anyone have any thoughts to offer up?
