Update + Graphic card question

Journal Entry: Thu Mar 4, 2010, 1:34 PM
The reasons for my inactivity is part due to that I'm trying to get my driver license like crazy, I will hopefully have it before summer! (I started 2 weeks ago :)) and also my graphic card recently broke :/.

Over the course of 4 months I had 2 HDD crashes and now a graphic card fan problem, my luck.

Anyhow I was wondering if anyone here were any good at the hardware stuff, I could need some help in buying a new card, I'm pretty unsure of what card I should buy, the one i had before was Geforce 8800GT.



sidenote, does anyone play Heroes of Newerth? Or is it just me, I sure am addicted anyhow :XD:

..also you have the HD5890, which is two HD5870 melted together in one card. But that's also a bit expensive!

Yeah, the ATI/AMD Radeon HD5850 or the HD5870. Just search google for "HD5850 review" or "HD5870 review".

If you're sticking with nVidia, i can tell you that they will be releasing the Fermi (GTX470 & GTX480) in a couple of days.. But they will probably not be giving the same "bang for bucks" as ATI/AMD.

I would and did personally go with any of the ati 5000 series. Better at larger resolutions, DX11 and generally cheaper + more powerful than the Nvidia counterparts^^
