Don't care for the bonus offer. Which would I get the best out of each? And should I get two?
and what the difference between crossfire and SLI?


thanks for reading

I'd say the ATI one, although I am a bit skeptical about it due to the reviews.

Found a perfect 1

now to check if i have enough watt...

[Soviet]

That one doesn't have good reviews at all, but suit yourself.

my advice: if you're looking for an nvidia card under $100 get this one

Hmm I'll prefer the 1 i picked. Thanks though.

So how do I check how many watts my cpu has? I looked in the box and it shows 165 watt? I look on the sticker where the power supply is. Is there a software that tells this?

[Soviet]

The sticker on the power supply will tell you how much wattage you have. Would you care to tell me why you prefer the one you picked? Mine is cheaper, faster, and better reviewed.

The sticker on the power supply will tell you how much wattage you have.

If you ask nicely, of course!

I was using a personification to bring life to the subject, thereby creating a sense of fluidity, motion, or even 'electricity'. You see, electricity moves in a constantly flowing circuit, one might say it has 'life' in a way. By using 'tell' instead of 'indicate' I was personifying life within the electricity, which helps the reader to visualize what the measurement of wattage indicates. Forgive me for using a bit of imagery to enliven the otherwise dull banter of the forum, almighty master of grammar

Takes me back to a very old (first of kind, sorta thing) of a computer simulation expressing how it is a living object. You sir are a hero.

Don't take ANY of them!

Before buying a new card, read this first.

This card will probably cost 90-120$ but is WAY better then the cards mentioned above, and also environment-friendly since it low-power-usage


If you have read that article, you'll prolly know why you shouldn't get any of the cards mentioned before

Good Luck!

Or chip out more money for a GTX 275

[Coontang]

I dont understand the GTX series.

there was the 260 and the 280 first.

Then the 275 and 295?

Is the 280 better than the 275? Is the 275 a good 260 or a bad 280, is the 295 just a good 280 or what?
