easy enough. my native resolution i assume is desktop. then the max i can put it on is 1600x1050 (or something like that) And i play alot of FPS/TPs, Racing and RTS (just starting to get into them). also my screen is 22 inch HD widescreen if that helps
im asking this because i already chose 512mb DDR2 over the 256mb DDR3 but im wondering if i made the right choice.
You'd want the more RAM then, so assuming both cards are the same save for the RAM, you made the right choice. However, as that liekly isn't the case, what are the brands and model #'s of the cards you were choosing from. Example: ATI Radeon HD4670 or NVidia Geforce GTX 260
You definitely made the right choice in my opinion... Especially with the monitor you have.. more memory the better to put it simply.. Not to say memory speed isn't also important.. it is.. but again it all depends on what your doing with the card..
also ill be upgrading with the step up programin in a month or 2. what would be a better upgrade?
1 gig DDR3 (havnt decided on the exact cards yet as i have a month) or 512 mb DDR5
i know more video memory is good for my screen but isn't 512 mb enough? or would 1 gig really help me out more then a faster speeds?
my specs are just saying if it helps. 2.4 gh'z Q6660 Quad core 4 Gig ram 22 HD widescreen 350V power (will be upgrading to whatever the card i get requires)
It depends on the exact card you're getting or the cards you're choosing between. a 1GB 9800GTX+ would get pwn'd by a 512 MB GTX 295. So yeah, we need the cards, not the amount of RAM.
Definately the right choice, especially after looking over the posting of the perforance scores that many people posted for the fact that the video card and memory of the card had the lowest score in 80% of these posting under graphic performance.
