Ok, so i have a MSI GeForce4 Ti4600 128mb... its not bad at all its done me proud for a year and a half... but time for more
So, when i buy new hardware i like to go for the best -- question is which one? I have heard too many conflicting reports so can you please help? I've been out of the loop of 'em for awhile, last i was up on knowledge was when i got my friend to get a 9800np 128mb about 10months ago or so.
I guess i'll be looking at the Ati Radeon X800XT 256 VIVO (i hear it has low ns ram) or the NVidia 6800... whichever is highest i'm not sure. I'm concious of the power supply... with a P4 system overclocked on a 400watt PSU i wonder if the NVidia pulls too much? It has 2 optical drives, and i want room for 3 HDDs (1xSATA at the moment, 1xIDE 40gig backup and upgradeability to a raid array for the sATA one)
So, 2 questions
Which is the better?
Which models clock the best?
I will probably be using air cooling, *may* expand the WC but not sure
'bit long winded but saves me explaining more later.
Thanks for any help,
