ok cool thanks

ok, i can see it is now between the geforce 7900gt, or the ati x1800gto geforce 7900gt ($278.99 ): Chipset Manufacturer: NVIDIA Core clock: 470MHz DirectX: DirectX 9 DVI: 2 Memory Clock: 1370MHz Memory Interface: 256-bit OpenGL: OpenGL 2.0 PixelPipelines: 24 TV-Out: HDTV/S-Video Out VIVO: Yes ati x1800gto ($239.99 ): Chipset Manufacturer: ATI Core clock: 500MHz DirectX: DirectX 9 DVI: 2 Memory Clock: 1000MHz Memory Interface: 256-bit OpenGL: OpenGL 2.0 PixelPipelines: 12 TV-Out: HDTV/S-Video/Composite Out VIVO: Yes its either/or between these two i've decided which do u think will suit my needs? i am not certain as to which specs are the priority specs to look at....

thanks for the quick reply yes, my eye is still on 7900gt i keep getting recommended to buy ati x800gto2.....and the BLUE one.....i cant for the life of me find out whats the difference between the red one and blue one.....plus this is half the price than 7900gt? all reviews i see are for red one.....any difference? i am also checking out the link for x1900xt.....at 1st, wow out of my price range.....but then i scroll down and the prices for same card are different? much lower? sorry, i am total noob at this, what is the reason for such major price difference on 'same' card? (not the open-box stuff) or am i missing something... thanks again zaahir

hi guys i am new here, some guy said "get over there and ask them, they rule!" lol so here i am. i am looking to get a new graphics card, because i am not very happy with the performance of my current system. i'm not sure, maybe u guys will pick up something else if it isn't gfx card.... my pc: P4 3.0Ghz 1GB RAM 80 GB HDD Geforce 6600 PCI-express (no not GT, normal 6600 with 256mb ram) Intel 915GAV motherboard okee so i play quite a bit of simracing, there is this game called rFactor. i have to run lowest resolution (800x600) and low graphics settings to have any hope of getting decent fps while in a race. it is very disappointing, i thought geforce6600 would be better than that....it was impressive with Quake4 tho i am looking to get a new graphics card to take me far into the future (hmmm around 2months? lol) and i am looking at Geforce 7900GT..... but somebody said that ATI is better (recommended X800), and then someone else said go with the card that is compatible with your motherboard......i am not a pc guru, so this is getting a bit much for me hence i am here i am looking at graphics cards in that 7900gt price range, i dont mind paying that. any help please? THANKS zaahir
