Alright, GFX Cards. I'm Out of the Loop
« on: November 27, 2004, 10:18:56 PM »
I stopped reading up on the ATI cards around the 9800's and the Nvidia's past GF4 4600's.

So what's ATI's newest offerings for gaming and what's Nvidia's?  I'm buying a new PC soon and under the descriptions of a lot of the new cards it says PCI Express compatible (Link) ?  Does that mean it's a PCI card or AGP?

Thanks,
Nacho

PCI express is nether PCI nor AGP. It's a whole different slot.

Have to have a motherboard that has one. I would reccomend staying away from it for the time being.

Top 'o' the line ATI card would probably be the X800- XT.

Top 'o' the line Gforce card is the 6800 Ultra (I think)

Actually, he should consider buying a computer with PCI express - to have a better upgrade path.
