which one would you say was better and do you think nvidia are better that ATI

[NvidiaDude]

me personally i think nvidia are good graphics cards as they are mostly good on 3D games i have never never had an ATI card an i never want to but for you dont go with the GeForce FX5200 or 9250 as both of those cards suk and lag on most try and look for a higher one like 5700 or higher then you will be ok make sure its Nvidia

[nost]

yes but for now i am going to stick with 1 of these the ati is mine the geforce is my mates and he wants 15 quid for it would you have the nvidia 1 and is it a little bit better than the ati

[NvidiaDude]

yes just a little bit like the clock speed on ati is 240MHz and nvidia is 250Mhz the Geforce fx5200 is worth £15

[NvidiaDude]

if i had a intel intergrated and i wanted to choose either a ati 9250 or nvidia geforce fx5200 it would be the GeForce fx

[nost]

thanks for the advice i mostly play on counter strike: source so i wanted to see which graphics card would play the best but i am going to try the nvidia for a couple of weeks then decide thanks for the advive anyway

[NvidiaDude]

you honestly say that your gunna try battlefield 2 on a 128MB card 256MB is best for that game the GeForce FX5200 can play doom 3 with sum jumps but with that its playable i havnt yet played half life 2 on it yet but i think it will work as long as you have the latest driver

[NvidiaDude]

Do you have msn messenger at all ?

[nost]

yea i do have msn messenger [email protected] add me and i will talk to you on there

[jshearer]

I have used both Nvidia and Ati cards and both are really personal preference. You will probably not see a big difference at all between the cards. Any of the games mentioned will all run on either card just fine. I ran Doom 3 on a Geforce 4 ti 4200 and it ran perfectly and looked real pretty. Could it have looked better on a top of the line card yes but I played a friends with a real good expensive card and then went back to mine and it looked fine to me. A good site to look at is www.tomshardware.com they do alot of benchmarking and ou should be able to find a comparison there.

[yardguard]

I personally prefer NVidia cards and I have seen both in action.......But!!!!! A 256 mb card vs a 128mb card?...Well...............

[nost]

thanks for the advice i will have a look on that site
