im planning on spending about $$300-400 around that price range. because as i said i need it for mostly gaming and i want to be able to play everything no problem

Re: video card help
That depends on what games you play. Your choices are basically the GeForce 6800GT or the X800Pro. For example, the GeForce 6800 would handle Doom 3 much better than the X800 Pro.
For the more educated choice, I'd suggest you take a look at some articles at Anandtech regarding video cards. Choose based on what games you play and how each car performs in them.

Ok and while im deciding on my updrade ive decided to overclock my videocard so far i think ive done good not sure though first time overclocking lol my clock ratio was 250 and is now 300 and my memory ratio was 400 and is now 475. is this good or is there any better setting? im using coolbits to overclock.Oh and by the way i know its not relly worth overclocking this card i just want to do it for the heck of it ok. i still plan on upgrading very soon.Last edited by biggs; 10-19-2004, 09:30 AM.
