i am considering getting a new graphics card to replace my geeforce 6600 - 256 MB, but after recently switching to vista ultimate i`m not sure what to go for. i do not want to spend over £100 and would also preferably like to have 512MB. and what do people think about directX10? is it worth limiting myself to graphics cards which have this capability?
and of course ati or nvidia for vista? i have done some reading and a few web articles suggest ati has better support for vista but both nvidia and ati run far from perfect on vista overall. does anyone have any working knowledge of these issues? many of the articles i read were months old and are probably out of date now. plus is it also correct that currently only nvidia offer directX 10 graphics cards?
the graphics card which has caught my eye is the ati 1950 pro 512 MB but my knowledge of graphics cards is quite limited and my knowledge of ati graphics cards is even more limited. what do people think of this card? and how suitable is it for vista? would also like to know what nvidia card this compares to.
other cards in my price range i found included nvidia's 8600GTS, i`ve seen a 512MB one for under 90 quid. i would post links but i`m not allowed to yet because of my post tally.
right thats about it. i have more than likely forgot to add key info so please ask me about any specifics. as i already said, my current system specs are on drop down menu on the left.
back in the days when i had an amiga500 computers were not this complicated lol
thanks guys and girls, your advice and help would be greatly appreciated.
