Geforce FX 5600 Ultra 256mb ram, should i buy?

too late i already did lol. for 50 bux no less from a freind upgrading to the 5950.

 

It's going to be outdated in a week. I pity you.

 

oh,

its outdated anyway lol, i know this. i jusat needed a DX9 compatable card.

 

I can't read right now, I thought it said 6800. You could have gone with a Radeon. It seems to be the card of choice for cards of that class.

 

i hop around bettween graphics cards. if a radeon tickles my fancy i get it. likewise with Nvidia.

 

Meh, if you're playing mostly DX9 games, a Radeon would have been a better choice. I dunno, I've been using NVidia for years and have yet to have a problem with 'em.

 

Radeons seem to preform better, I think. Although, with Doom3 coming out, and being built on an Nvidia system, I think for at least Doom3, Nvidia would be better.

 

Personally, I'll wait until Half-Life 2 comes (you know, in 5 more years or so) to upgrade.

And yes, Half-Life 2 > Doom3.

 

I have an ATI now, but I still prefer nvidia cards. Ive owned nvidia in the past.

 

*lmfao*

It's simple, really; if you want to play DX9 games (NFS: U2, Unreal Tournament 2KKX), you'll want a Radeon...if you play mostly Open-GL-based games (DIII...what else?), you'll want an NVidia.

Both are equal, and whilst they come out at different times with higher benchmarks, any game should be equally enjoyable with different GFX cards.

Don't buy into the hype, buy what you want, when you want, and for how much you want it.

Let me guess, you're running an AMD chip and have something from MSI connected to your Mobo?



Me too.
