Hey,
I'm looking for a new video card. I have a GeForce 6600, but new games like Crysis need a GeForce 6800 minimum, so I want a new one xD
Anyway, I was looking at the website of the shop where I usualy buy my stuff, and they had 9 difference ones. The specifications they listed included:
Memory Frequency
Core Frequency
RAMDAC
Bus Slot
DirectX and OpenGL Versions
Maximum Resolution
OS Drivers
And ofc the name, XFX GeForce 8600GT 256 MB PCI-E(As an example)
So, what's the most important?
And, at Compression it showed: DirectX10 and OpenGL
And at Drivers it showed: Windows Vista
Does that mean that I can't use the 8600GT with my Windows XP?
And what card would you recommend anyway
?
My budget is pretty much up to the 8600GT, the 8800 is a bit to expensive. As I live in europe, and the prices are way different in dollars(Even when converted), It's quite useless to tell
Greetz, Thas!
Edit: I forgot to ask, how to check if my 6600 is in a PCI-E slot atm?
