im planning to buy a video card this july because my pc only has 256mb on boad vcard so need your comments and advice on which video card to get

Inno3D 8800GT OC 512ddr3 dvi 256bit

or

PC HD3870 512ddr4 256bit dvi PCS

since its purpose will be for playing games like crysis cod4 and assassins creed. and also for doing some projects like animation

my budget is within 9k-10k

tnx

8800 GT.... den upgrade ur psu...

[isyot_daut]

both are good....

8800GT is faster than HD3870 but,
8800GT is hotter than HD3870,
therefore buy an aftermarket cooler for 8800GT.

medyo OT lang..
My motherboard's box/manual says "Crossfire Ready" does it mean, I can't put NVIDIA cards in it?

Coz I'm targeting for a VC upgrade and I don't know if pwede ba NVIDIA VC sa akong mobo..

@threadstarter

both vc's are good. so if you can shell out more then go for the nvidia.

@stealthghost

when it says SLI (Nvidia) or Crossfire (ATI) ready means that mobo can support having 2 vc's
in SLI/Crossfire mode.

if your not going to do a crossfire (or just 1vc) you can use either a Nvidia/Ati cards.
