I has monies!
My options are,
Second Radeon X1650 Pro (£30, eBay)
Radeon HD 2600 XT (£40)
Radeon HD 3650 (£50)
Or any ATI card under £50
But which would be the best?
Notes:
On some of "Tom's Hardware" charts the Radeon HD 2600 XT is better than the Radeon HD 3850
The Radeon HD 3650 appears to have a lower Clock speed than the Radeon X1650 Pro
Shignog said that the Radeon HD 2600 XT could be better than two Radeon X1650 Pro's   Quote:Posting related image due to my inability to formulate an intelligent response. BlooDz wrote:i cant type good im stupid

Sad to say, I was a strict ATI fan until going nVidia with the 8800GT. I'm not sure I'll ever look back.

Solid card with great horsepower. Then bioshock rolled around and with it, pixel shader 3, which the 850 had no support for. Delta recommended the nvidia 8600GT, which I currently run. I continue to recommend nvidia since then. Safety + Peace

What brand power supply does your PC have , what wattage, and what PCI-E connectors does it have, how many six pin and how many 8 pin? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sapphire-ATI-Radeon-X1950-XTX-512MB-GDDR4-256bit-ViVO_W0QQitemZ120292785810QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item120292785810&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sapphire-ATi-Radeon-2900-XT-512MB_W0QQitemZ330258976069QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330258976069&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318 If your PSU can handle it the bottom card would be your best option by far, if not the first one.

You can get 4-Pin Molex to 6-Pin PCI-E connectors so thats not a problem Quote:Posting related image due to my inability to formulate an intelligent response. BlooDz wrote:i cant type good im stupid

Christina wrote:my new comp is going to have Diamond Radeon HD 4850 in it....its coming for maybe next week Nice! That'll tear TF2 up at max settings and res. One note on the cards I posted. The first one is somewhat slower but only requires one PCI-E connector. If you are comfortable using an adapter the second one will be noticeably faster. Also, unless it is a molex to 8-pin you won't be able to overclock the second one without a paper clip shorting the remaining two pins.

delta62 wrote:I would go nVidia if I were you.... Seems like we have a lot of nVidia fans. Term, since you've got a 550W power supply, you could save up some more clams and go for something like a 9800GTX, or possibly even a GTX 260. I only recommend ATi if you are building a gaming rig for someone else.
