new ati card

[LinkTheHero]

well i just bought a new graphics card or the first time in my life im replaceing my ati radeon xpress 200 with a ati radeon x550 its was £70 and i mast say thats a bargin casus i wanted the geforce 6600Gt first but that was £200 i only had £130 so i just bought the x550 ...



im wandering is the x550 alot better then the x200 or are they just the same

[cooliscool]

X550 is about as fast as a Radeon 9600 Pro, that is, if you got a card with a 128-bit memory bus.

A 9600 pro? Is the X550 a crap card?

[cooliscool]

No, it's faster than the 6200 ever thought about being.

[GCFreak]

I don't care if his card is faster then mine.

GCFreak chill man chill and thanks cooliscool for the reply im quite pround to find out my card is faster then a 6200 and also proud that the best zelda hacker replyed

[cooliscool]

I'm flattered.

it may be faster, but it doesn't perform prettier. SM 3.0 vs PS 2.0? lol

That's some "I don't care" you got there GCFresk, I could sware you were jealous by that last post... if you've got anything to be jealous about, it should be the fact that I have 150% more ram than you and a much faster processor... woooooo!!

it may be faster, but it doesn't perform prettier. SM 3.0 vs PS 2.0? lol

That would be a valid point if A) the 6200 had nearly the balls to run a full-fledged SM3.0 game at a decent speed, and B) if SM3.0 made much difference in the first place.
