Hey everyone
been a long time reader, here, love this place!
Recently, I got a job at Future Shop, and I work in the Computer dept. Now, I've been working with computers for years, so I do know my stuff. However, We have a bunch of video cards from ATI, and some based on NVidia (yeah, we're Canadian, so we ***** em, lol)
Anyway, obviously there are huge differences in prices between all of them, ranging from $99 to $649 CDN.
Here's what we have basically, but if it says web exclusive, well... then ya kno.
Here's my big problem though. In trying to sell these, I sometimes find it difficult to explain to the customer that this card is better than this one. First, because I've never really been into 3D gaming/video cards, it was always too expensive for me, so I don't know the scene that well. Second, all I can come up with is that, well, this one's got a faster chip, and more RAM. Yeah, that's lame.
So I ask you all for links to websites that you have found useful where I can read up about what the heck makes all of these cards so dang good. Thanks everyone!
EDIT: Oh yeah, we don't have the Visontek's anymore (Least we shouldn't) cuz they've gone outta business, and we're getting a chance to return them, so yeah, they're gone.
