hi
im buying a new system now, and i want to buy the best possible ATi X700 card.. pro, XT or any other version.
i just want to know if anyone of you have a x700 and want to share your experience with me.
ofcourse im buying an PCIe card.
you see, there are so many manufacturers and the most difference with the cards are mostly bundled software, how much sound it makes, looks, power demand and so on.
since they are all based on the same core, the clockspeeds rarely
differs. but what differs is amount of ram.. 256 and 128..
ofcourse.. running hl2 on hight resolutions will demand alot of vid ram..

ive been thinking about one of these cards :


PowerColor Radeon X700PRO 256MB PCI-E PCI Express, GDDR3, Tv-Out/DVI, Retail

Sapphire Radeon X700PRO 128MB DDR3 PCI-E PCI Express,Tv-Out, DVI-I, Lite-Retail

and this card.. even though i have never heard about that brand before.. :

you are ofcourse welcome to come with other suggestions as long as its an ATi x700 card.


Best regards

Well I'm getting ready, in the next hour or so to build a new box for a friend of mine using the following card. I won't really know how well this card will do until I get the machine built and burned in

hmm.. let me take a look.

hi.
thanks for the respons

wow.. thats strange.. you can buy an graphics adapter from THE manufacturer itself in the us of a?
ATi..
strange.. can only buy from third parties here..
such as asus, MsI, sapphire and those..

and that card..
8 pipelines is fair enough for the x700.
still only 50% but its 50% of the price too :P
heh.
but sapphire have above 20mhz faster ramdac speed.
hmm..
strange.
tell me how it went..

best regards

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!
that card is around 110$ less than a card like that here..
shiat...

im moving to the states..
