What graphics card on A7N8X-E Dlx

[Matthew Farley]

I think its about time I upgraded my lowly Geforce 4200Ti to something
newer. I am split between the cut price ATI 9800pro's going for about £150
or the new Geforce FX 5900XT also about £150.

Are there any conflicts with ATI or would the Geforce compliment the board
better as this is also an NVIDIA chipset?

Cheers guys

Mine is the previous de luxe version, and I went for the ATI 9800 Pro,
although I have not got round to installing it yet. Current price is around
£110 + VAT.

I've been running a ATI 9800 Pro 128MB in my plain jane A7N8X v2 for 6
months now, no problems here.

ATM, I am running an FX5200. Would I notice much difference for 2D (general
office stuff - Word, Excel etc) and dvd watching, if I installed my 9800
Pro?

In my experience, the RAMDAC freq./speed is a good indication
of 2D performance. If one is 400 and another is 300, the 400 will
usually outperform the card that's at 300.

I upgraded from a Ti4200 to a ATI 9800, so I can't say, but heck even
the ti4200 was fast enough in 2D, for my use anyway.

I went from a ATI Radeon VE to FX5200, primarily as I preffered Nvidia dual
display features, and noticed very little performance increase for Office
apps.
Games obviously better but I only use this occassionally, then the more
basic ones.
