| Graphics Card?
Just got a new pc that came with an onboard ATI Radeon HD 3200 card, and was wondering if it was worth the trouble to put in a cheap ATI Radeon x1600 pro. |

Well I was just wondering since my x1600 is compatible with crossfire that it might be better if I put it in and used both rather than just using the HD 3200 for everything. | |

AMD kicks ass nowadays. Most pc magazines i read favor ATI over NVIDIA these days, ATI quality is starting to pull ahead of NVIDIA . Bottom line: get a cheap ati unless u can afford a nice 300-400 video card from nvidia.

the only reason why i dont invest in ATI is because there are a lot of games it doesnt support . at least, thats how it was 5 years ago

Most forums always seem to have people complaining about their nvidia cards not working, when i search for problems related with my processor more than anything. | |
