hey every1, which brand of graphics card would you prefer? the ATI Radeon range of cards? or the Nvidia  range of cards???

Personally, I prefer ATi Radeon graphics cards... much nicer and smoother.

yes same. i believe there much  more stable card. all thou there 9200 range was released without a coooling fan.. makin them very easyly overheater, im presetly running ATi Radeon 9200

i cant really say as i have only ever used nVidia GeForce cards but i have never had any problems and they run smooth enough for me

I'm running Video Card: ATi Radeon 9000, and its awesome, I might get a better one soon though when I get some more stuff for my computer like upgrade my RAM.. then again.. I may aswell just wait and put it in the pc I'm building

hey. if u intending on upgrading ur card i must advise you to this car.. ive hyperlinked to the spec page for you viewing pleasure. this card is the card of all cards atm

ATi Radeon X850 specs

that card is insane, but as you can see, I'm a 14 year old, and don't have the worlds greatest ever budget tbh ... I will save up and try and get something like that though ..

It depends on certain things. Doom 3 supposedly runs better on nVidia cards and Half-Life 2 runs better on ATI Radeons. nVidia cards are technically superior on paper though.

Next year I am planning on building a new computer, and will probably choose an nVidia card, so that in future I can upgrade to having 2x nVidia cards in SLI

well then being on a lower budget.. i advise on something more the like 9600 - 9800 range

all very good cards!

Yeah, I'll try some of them.. but will I need to get anything else for my pc?? Or is it just the matter of getting the graphics card installing in and the drivers and stuff????

hmm yeh basically.. i spose.  but the better ur system, the better it will handle the grapics card. post some simple stats for your pc. and i will try and advise on upgrades

I like nvidia gforce cause thats the only one i've seen. But now a days i heard more no of games recommend ati than nvidia.

my laptop has a ATI..(it's pretty [32 mb] but anyway) it sucks ...a lot of crashes due to it etc......i love nvidia although i was kinda fooled with this one i've got FX5200(256 mb) it's good allright but it also crashes[gonna do a thread for that it tech talk] and it's not that GOOD...
