kurosen Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I voted for vid card, but after seeing the 12ms response time I would change my mind and go for the monitor... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I'd go with the video card, because the FX5600 isn't going to give you a great picture on any monitor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 yeah, a new monitor is only going to make a small difference compared to the HUGE difference in upgrading that p.o.s. FX5600... guess it depends what you want first, the ability to play new games with amazing 3D hi-res graphics, or a lightweight more portable monitor...

spathalogic Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 You can either get a new, good monitor that will last you 5+ years or a nice video card that will be totally obsolete in about 6 months . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt_navvara Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 You can either get a new, good monitor that will last you 5+ years or a nice video card that will be totally obsolete in about 6 months . i voted for new video card but he's right a new monitor will last be of more use to u but your video card is kinda weak and i'm sure that you'll be sorry if u keep it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
