A question for gamer techies.

I plan to be building my new gamer PC soon, and saw this graphics card....

Would you say it's

A. Made of win

B. Made of crap

or C. mediocre at best ?


And where would you put it in a fight with

unless you're driving a monitor 27" or better either is more card than you'll need. plan on buying a power supply designed to drive these. just bought a 260 and it needed more juice than you'd imagine and what you're looking at is even hungrier. check tomshardware.com

That card cost more than my current PC.

Jesus, I'm glad I don't do serious gaming anymore...

power supply looks decent. make sure video card takes the 6pin power, some need 8pin. as far as which card. i like nvidia which all of your options are. think of the gpu as a pixel pump. max res of your monitor times refresh rate is the sizing of what card you want. my monitor is max 1680x1050 so 285 and up is overkill. if you can use higher res then bigger card is justified. if not, you can spend more money but not really enjoy any benefit...

Be good to see what it looks like when you get it together. That graphics card is astonishing!

ultimately you have to jump on the train at some point. do the games you want to play support dx11? you also need to take a look at some of the phenomenal games on consoles. big money is developing for xbox and ps3. a lot of the pc games these days are ports. 🙁
