albert16 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Im planning on buying a video card. my PC specs are: (tight on budget) Intel 3.0ghz E8400 E0 ASUS P5Q PRO Turbo 2GB RAM DDR2 800 22" Samsung T220 @ 1680 x 1050 resolution WinXP or Vista OS *still thinkin* I haven't overclocked anything on my PC yet. But i might be once my gaming frames drop and when i decide to get an expensive RAM. Im choosing between a ASUS EAH4870 Dark Knight vs. Powercolor PCS+ 4870 Booth cards at 1GB DDR5. I'm thinking of getting the asus because it's a newer card with 2ng gen R770 but when i looked at the powercolor review here it was a close match though it was pre-OC'ed, the card was a 512mb one! Help! Note: My price range are of these cards only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Buy whatever card is cheaper. I don't understand what you posted about perhaps overclocking if you buy expensive RAM. You can overclock your CPU with cheap RAM or expensive RAM and to be honest I would always use cheap RAM. Over-priced over-hyped RAM like the Corsair Dominators are just marketing gimmicks to take advantage of people who think more expensive RAM is better.
