ATi or nVidia? part 2
ATi or nVidia? part 2

stick it to the man!
Alright, sorry about all my tech posts but i'm curious and still learning, so this post is about which one is better:
1) 8600GT at 512mb GDDR3 with silent cooling by ASUS for $102.99
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121098
or
2) ATI Radeon X1650PRO at 512mb GDDR2 for $69.99
Link: http:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161039

llololololol newfag.
Go for the 8500GT but to tell you honestly, both those cards suck. I really suggest getting a 9600GT or at least get a 8600GT because the 8500 is not a gaming card.

What is this? A bulldozer race?
Don't spend under $100 and avoid 256MB. No, 256+256+SLI isn't 512.
If you really need to cheap it, at least get
one of these
. Otherwise, don't settle for anything slower than a 3850 because the price/perf is non-existant for those low-end cards.

Well you don't need a 450W for a X1950XTX.400W is enough.But why don't you chose a 9600GT ?the cheapest tat you can find on newegg is the PNY 9600GT for $145.

Lol. If you had access to a Fry's, they're selling the 8800gt for $140..... But then again I don't think a 400W PSU would cut it. I wouldn't pick the 8500gt..... I've seen even the 8600gt or the HD2600xt go cheaper.

It sounds like you are buying a new system, can we see a list of parts and a budget?

Well to be honest with you guys, i have no clue we i'm gonna have the money to buy a system, this is just something to give me of an idea of what to buy, but i've made a thread on this a while back but that was out of date and stuff and yes i'm planning on a new system crazypip

You can start looking around at parts and reviews now, but I wouldn't make any final plans on any components yet since things can change so fast.

Paired with a 45W processor and basically any motherboard that isn't a 680i or 780i, an X1950XTX should run on 400W. 550W is probably safe range, but you have to remember that at the time, they expected you to drop that thing in a system running a 125W+ processor.

That should work just fine, my 380W PSU could easily handle my power hog X2 5600+ and a X1950 Pro at the same time.
And without a doubt go for the X1950XTX, it beats the living snot out of the 8600. Honestly, it's like 80% faster.

Attention stupid people: I HATE YOU.
Don't even look at this stuff until you have the money, trust me. I tried to put together a system before I had the money and when I came back to it I had to change every single part.

So you'd rather refer a piece of shit card to a random person and let them waste their money simply because you're a fanboy? There's something wrong with you.

How that Radeon's card can be so cheap?? Are you sure that's the right one? I would choose that ATI's card. But if I could choose any model of those cards, then NVIDIA.

To tell yo uthe truth about these card you really should get any
only upgrade your card when you can not play a game that you have
but if so a 8800 gtx is near top for preformance and $$

When sticking to the poll, it's important to remember that the people who said the 8600GT is better are morons.

It may be DX10 compatible, but it can't run any DX10 games at decent framerates so what does it matter?

Well, there's no doubt the 1950XTX beats the 8600's ass performance-wise.

Wait, what do I put here again?
Truthfully I think NVIDIA is pretty good in making video cards, and yet I can't be biased on ATI cards too...So I stay neutral and post anyways. But if you want, check the specs of both cards and base it off that.

I agree to that, but it is good enough to fully support Vista and play HD video. So it does have a small use.
