ATI 4870 X2 - The Big Boss Of Graphics Card

Advantages: cheaper than nvidia, full directx 10.1 support, DDR5 RAM, legendary 4870 platform
Disadvantages: you'll not have even one game to challenge this card.

I always appreciated nvidia's graphics cards, because obviously they were always taking an upperhand over ATI. And when Nvidia released 200 series, I bought it as quickly as possible, the graphics I got with my games were stunning. I thought that I had the perfect graphics card on the planet as the other 280's users would also. But then, not quite late though, ATI came in the battle field, holding its newest monster, ATI 4870 X2, 2GB DDR5 graphics ...
...(which is only 1gb), ofcourse few companies were marketing it for lesser than that too. I thought twice but bought it, and as it was destined to be, my eyes were popped out, with full Directx 10.1 support (which ensures 25 - 30% boost in graphics and speed) and 2gb of discrete graphics memory and not to mention the DDR5 RAM, the games were in a whole new look and I could not believe it. The rain effect in Stalker, Far Cry 2, and GTA iv was just incredible. ...

Review of Sapphire RADEON HD 4870 X2

work great,Excellent card

Advantages: Installed easily enough,work great
Disadvantages: NONE

...ATI never disappoints me and Powercolor has delivered a decent product at a low cost. I'm holding off on the rebate due to the bad reviews I've read. If the card does end up failing for one reason or another I can still return it as long as I don't apply for the rebate. I've read some failures occured 2 and 1/2 months after installation. I will keep my fingers crossed. Some reviewers of Powercolor Products have reported problems. With the X1650 Pro ...

Get ready to modernise your system.

Advantages: Get your money's worth.
Disadvantages: Not enough VRAM.

...at a tight budget with PNY geforce 6200 AGP. With 128MB VRAM you can go and enjoy the full range of graphic based tasks that vindows vista home premium has to offer, including the world famous windows aero. Despite being least powerful out of the PNY/Nvidia geforce GPUs the geforce 6200 has an excellent collections of APIs including: Direct X 9.0C, OpenGL2.0 and Pixal shader V3.0. These are better then the original geforce 6 graphic card. I have ...
...with 3 years warrenty from PNY and the fact that PNY is an authorised graphic card manufacture by NVIDIA. So you are not accepting any immitations. Well what are you waiting for get ready to upgrade you video card for only £30. And if you see Nvidia geforce 6200 by anyother video card manufacture ensure it has the Nvidia logo. ...

Review of PNY Verto GeForce 6 6200 AGP8X

ATI Radeon HD 3850

Advantages: absoloutly brilliant card! arguably ATI's best card in terms of usability
Disadvantages: may not be as power as the nvidia 8800

Feel as if you need a new ATI Radeon Graphics processing Unit? I highly reccomend this one! its not as powerful as the Nvdia 8800 GTX in some of the stats, but its different in a lot of ways Gaming companies preferably use the excellent ATI GPU's because they find them more flexible for them and for the consumers. and that is why its worth getting this gpu. It is absoloutly flawless with any game or with any video editing process. The things that ...
...and moulds to the game and gives you the best possible results. take crysis for example. a very highly demanding game. this will gpu will ulter itself to have the neccasary shades whcih make hte textures on the trees somewhat impossible. this truly is a brilliant card and it gets 5 stars from me! BUY IT! ...
