Needs graphics card advice

Cuchulain · 2009-09-16 12:32:39

I have a PCI-Express slot on my PC and Im looking at spending €150-€200 on a decent graphics card. Im a bit bamboozled by all the different card specs. Should I just buy one with the biggest memory?

No.

Most maufacturers tend to stuff the cards with memory, but its the clock speeds that are more vital.

Also, it depends on what kind of Power supply you got. 150-200 euro graphics cards tend to be looking at 500watt supplies upwards.
