More tech garbage (sorry)


Hmm.. ok.

What about the 5800 (Ultra?) it has what appear to be significant performance increases over even the Radeons.. is there some kind of internal Bortz that makes it suck that I'm not comparing or know about? Is it the 128bit vs. 256bit that makes all the difference here?

GeForce FX 5800 U NVIDIA NV30 DX 9 500 1000 128-bit 8x1

Radeon 9800 Pro 256 ATI R350 DX 9 380 700 256-bit 8x1
Radeon 9800 Pro ATI R350 DX 9 380 680 256-bit 8x1

I'm really leaning towards the 256mb card because I need it to carry me through at least another 12-18 months and there are a few games on the horizon that I know I'm going to want the juice for (Pacific Fighters add-on and the impending monster of them all.. a new "Battle of Britain" title being produced by the same developers as IL2.. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)
