Forget Expensive Video Cards

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oversimplifications-are-funny dept.

Anonymous Reader writes "Apparently, the $200 in video cards does not produce the difference. While $500 video cards steal the spotlight on review sites and offer the best performance possible for a single gpu, most enthusiasts find the $300 range to be a good balance between price and performance. Today TechArray took a look at the ATI x1900xtx and Nvidia 7900gtx along with the ATI x1800xt and Nvidia 7900gt."

  1. right, so the budget video card is $300 by nazsco · · Score: 0, Troll

    earth is calling. moron.

    the lowest reviwed board had doom3 runing at 1600x1200 with all the eye candy maxed out at some 99FPS! anything beyond 25 is a damn waste! WASTE!

    the budget card should be one that runs doom3 at 1200x1024 at 25fps.

    $300 is the price for the crippled over the top video card the extravaganza you will never need. $500 is for dumb snobs that wana pay double for a dick increase in Ghz.
