nVidia vs Radeon

[lizardkid]

I think this was done before... but i dont remember very well and the post was very old.

So, what card do you have how do you like it and would you recommend it?

[General Death]

6800 Ultra SLI and love it. Nothing comes close when you crank up the AA and AF.

Would not recommend it as the geforce 7 series is just around the corner.

looks like radeon and nvidia are tied

uhm i like my radeon... ( i bought it myself, going with 2$ a week allowance and the card costing $100 )

nVidia GeForce FX 5200 with 256MB AGP - Special Addition


Its awesome, runs great with pretty much anything i want it to... it has trouble with MOHPA just a little bit but i think thats cuz of my run down 1.8GHZ processor and i dont have enough money to buy a new motherboard that fits a faster proccessor... nor do i have money for a new processor...

I have an ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 256 mb AGP. It's probably the standard for gamers now in the ATI fields.

I love it, i had one before it that broke down, bad video, manufacturer's defect. So i got it in before the warranty was up and got this one.

um as far as I know AGP runs at 4x but pci-e runs at 16x unless you are running in SLI mode then both cards run at 8x . All I know is I get good fps even on wacko's snowhill map with my two nvidea 6800 GT cards .

AGP, not APG. And AGP slots can be up to 16x.

I've got an integrated Intel i915G, which is crappy - it steals 32 MB of my RAM, but I've got no money to buy a better one ATM. My mainboard supports PCIe, though, so I'm saving up for a good one.

No Rook's right on this, there's a reason why theres only on AGP slot on most comps when there's about 4-5 PCI slots.

My card runs at 8x. Only because my mobo can't really support anything above.

not to go off topic, but how do you change the video cards speed?

run down 1.8GHZ processor

hey, ive got a 1.8 ( 2 yrs old )

Overclocking m8,

There are several programs for that, sometimes it's even included in the sotware of your videocard.

You can overclock the 'Core clock frequency' and the 'Memory clock frequency' (it's all counted in Mhz) if you don't want to have a risk just leave it alone. If you never did that beore, becarefull, don't overclock too much it could damage you videocard (overheating etc).

The best way is to overclock the card in a few steps like 10 Mhz everytimes, then save it, if you don't see weird stuff like lines, different colours, you can overclock it again with 10 Mhz, untill you are happy or your screen looks weird (if so, you should clock it back) But again don't overclock too much, it's your own risk.

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

where would i get one of those programs ?

[lizardkid]

google. search engines. ask you local computer store about it. tell Foamy about Tech Support.
