Dual DVI .. which card?

[onebelo]

looking to build a new pc which will be mostly used for photoshop, webdesign, etc .. i havent played games on my pc in years but with new pc i might wanna try a game or two. but i doubt i will be playing much....

2 important thing for me is image quality and dual DVI .. looking for something thats under $200 .. suggestions? (PCI-e by the way)

i'm leaning towards more with ATI as i have experience with them ...

what's the big difference between X800GT and GT02?

I would get an X1600 or X1800 for AVIVO and two dual link DVI ports in case you get a display larger than 1920x1200.

The GTO has 4 more pipes, while the GT has 75 more mhz clockspeed. These bench's should be all that you need to make your own decision. It's quite obvious that the GTO is a stronger video card.

didnt know about the X1600/1800 series from ATI .. thanks for the heads up .. the AVIVO feature definitley looks like a nice feature ...

X1600XT seems to be in the price range but only has 128bit .. how much of a difference is that compared to 256bit?

HotkeyCC, thanks for the links

the 1600 is quite a bit slower than the gto and al ittle bit slower than the gt Check this out
