admin — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:36:16 +0000

For very complicate image rendering or just for games one think you will first look is a suitable video card. Video chipsets are the hart of a videocard and 2 of the biggest videocard makers you can find on the market are ATI and nVidia.

So when you start looking for a new video card first thing is to establish a point of reference. So becouse names like a Geforce 9800GT or Radeon HD4850 do not say anything about his power for a normal computer user you need to know things like Memory interface, memory transfer rate, Core Speed, Memory clock, and what is the maxim Directx version witch you can use.
