What's Your Video Card?


Recommended Posts

Well, there’s three things that affect the graphics quality of a game.  First, you have your texture quality.  This is what determines how crisp the object models of what you see in the game are.  A high resolution texture used on a character's face will show you the most detailed facial features.  The lower this gets, the less detail you see, ie. wrinkles, fair follicles.  Second, there's the shader effects.  These are what enables most of the eye candy, ie. shiny surfaces, translucent waters, water ripples, etc.  The more you have of these, the better the game looks lie.  Lastly, there's the game resolution.  The higher this is, the less jaggies you see on game objects.  Now, to answer your question, it's true that adjusting graphical settings on many games can produce relatively less obvious improvements to the untrained eye.  Hardcore gamers and those that have been playing games for a while now can tell the difference.  If you can't tell the difference, consider yourself lucky as you can immerse yourself in a game, have the highest level of satisfaction without having to spend too much for a good computer.

 

Here's a link to compare quality setting in Doom3.  Can you spot the difference?

i have had lots of BFG video cards ranging from geforce 3 ti 500, ge 4 ti 4200 4400 4600, 256mb pci fx 5200, 2 6800gt ocs...and i sold them all in the philippines thru tipidpc.com. and the irony is my video card is an ati 9800 pro...hahaha...i put a bfg 5900xt oc in my daughthers computer. the good thing about BFG video cards, they have lifetime warranty. the 6800 gt's i bought at ebay dirt cheap. i would say about 30$ each but i rma'ed them at bfg and they replaced them with new ones. i have seen bfg 7800 gt's at ebay for about 200$. but i think its still too expensive. i got my ati for less than 20$. had it rma'ed and they sent me a new one. that was a while ago and i did it again a few months ago. and sold the card in the philippines. hahaha.

With your budget, you can buy the 6600gt :D Or, if you're lucky enough, you might stumble upon a 6800GS 2nd hand unit @ tipidpc.ocm :D

 

The 6600gt can play Doom3 with no problems :D

Guys im planning to buy the Geforce 6600 LE (AGP) for may AMD XP 2600+ (2.0ghz). Can anyone tell me anong difference nito sa GT and ok din ba ang LE?

 

LE is the low-end version...Hehe joke.^_^ LE is the downclocked version so it means it costs less. GT is far more greater than LE and i suggest getting an 6600GT instead of LE if you are in the 6600 line.
