Need help finding another video card

by raddman - 6/14/09 3:08 PM

Hi, I have a nvidia G-force 6200 256gb in my PC now and I want to upgrade to a 512mg preferably a nvidia that won't break the bank, I'm not a gamer just a regular user, at PC pit-stop I'm always getting the worlds lowest 3% score and if I try to update the drivers it runs even slower and I have to roll back the drivers! All I'm looking for is a 512gb in a med price range, anyone have any suggestions, thanks

If you're not a gamer

If you're not a gamer, why do you care? Any old video card should be just fine. Is there some aspect of the video performance that leaves you wanting, aside from having a better score on some benchmarking test?

IMO, unless you have some specific desire, and it's better than simply wanting a better score on a benchmarking test, save your money. There's no point spending even a single dollar/pound/euro or any other currency denomination, on a new video card when odds are you won't even notice a difference except when you run that benchmarking program.

Now, if there is some aspect of the video performance that you find lacking, and it has nothing to do with that benchmark test, that's different. If you have such a complaint, let's hear it, and we can evaluate your options if you can give us some kind of budget.
