Re: What video card should i get

Well... I have used a nVidia Ge-Force Mx440 64 mb (yes, kinda old ) for a long time, and it always worked fine for me.
Only recently I got an Ati Radeon 9800 Pro 128 Mb from a good friend, works really good as well, better resolutions and stuff, but that's cause it's a lot newer anyway .
Anyway.. I guess you need to look at the specifications of each card.

Note: For two GeForce 7900 GT-based graphics cards running in NVIDIA SLI configurations, a minimum 450W system power supply (with 12V rating of 26A) is recommended.

Quick specifications for GeForce 7900GT from NVIDIA documents:

* PCIe native
* 450MHz core frequency
* 256-bit memory interface
* 40GB/sec. memory bandwidth
* 11B pixels/sec. fill rate
* ~900M vertices/sec.
* 24 pixels per cycle
* Built in dual-link DVI support for 2560x1600 resolution

My opinion so far
I'm not really experted or anything at this, but I usually know what to look at before purchasing something, and otherwise I just ask someone

The RADEON X1900 XT sounds great to me, and I like the Ati Driver's and graphics-software too, so I guess my bet goes to the ATI RADEON X1900 XT. But i'd like to add, don't trust my opinion too much, I hope others will reply to this thread soon too.
