graphics card help

Alright so im looking into building a pc.(again) and im trying to figure out which graphic card to get. im completly open to every ones opinion.


the mother board is the XFX nForce 680i LT SLI

-Thanks

 

How much have you got to spend? Good value picks nowadays are the HD2600XT, HD3850, HD3870 and the 8800GT. The up and coming HD3870X2 is looking promising too.

 

i wanted to go with the 8800 but since i can go sli is it better if i get 2 like 8600 or something along that line and would it be cheaper and better then one 8800?


-Thanks

 

You'd certainly be better off getting one fast card like the 8800 rather than two 8600s. A pair of 8600s can not keep up with the 8800GT in most games.

 

Thank you very much. i decided on this one

and i have one more question. which is better to connect to DVI or S-Video?

 

DVI, all the way. S-Video is limited to standard tv resolution!

 

Alright cool. thank you
