Alright so Im just about done with buying my new pc..And I need help on a vid. card I wanna be able to play most of the games that our out. Also doing some digital video stuff..Heres a list of the components Im putting in it.

Chip: P4 670 Prescott 3.8 GHz
Board: Intel BOXD975XBXLKR

My power supply is a 550watt so no problems running anything out there.

I just wanna know what my advantages are going with an ATI over nVidia

Thanks All
 
7900GT. Go for a factory overclocked 500/1500 or 520/1500 model. Those are $299 if you look around.

edit so used to typing 7800. i meant 7900GT
 
BFG? or eVGA?

As far as I'm concerned, both are excellent brands.

If you think you might use the 'step-up' program then I would go with evga.

I don't think you can go wrong with either.
 
hmmm...set up program....No thanks unless its very useful

It is a 'step-up' program. If you buy a eVGA card, they will let you trade that card in within 3 months for the full price that you paid for it.

So say in 2 months you want a different card from eVGA that costs 500.00....you trade your 300.00 card in and pay the 200.00 remaining for the new card.
 
is there anything better i should get besides the 7900GT...I mean my 300 dollar range can go up I just may need to take some goodies off my shopping list
 
ahhhh....lol thanks for clearify that, and i was thinking it was another lame program they give you
 
7900GT FTW 299.99. Then overclock it. I think it's best bang 4 buck available in that price bracket. :cool:
 
Yes there are better cards out there like the 7900GTX which goes for around 550-600 or even the 7800GTX(not sure on how much the price dropped on these)
 
7900GT is faster than a 7800GTX. 7600GT and 7900GT are pretty much the best bang/buck cards in existence right now. X1800XT 256 isn't bad either.
 
300 dollar price range definitely the 7900gt 7800gt and gtx both lose to it and the 7900gtx and x1900xt are way out of your price range
