Need honest opinion on what video card to purchase

<< < (2/3) > >>

Apparently, nVidia has finally got their problems fixed.  I just upgraded my drivers (GeForce 5500) and no more stuttering, stray triangles, or blue accessories.

Personally, I love my ATI card (on my pc). I have an nVidia on my laptop and it gives me nothing but grief. but that's just my opinion. Ultimately, the decision is yours. So many people will give you a different point of view, so the best thing you can do is research the cards you're interested in and go from there.

I hope this information works.
I have used, for my desktop pc, the eVGA 7600gs 512mb
Works perfectly, and with my 1.5gb ram it runs most games on highest settings(I am not taking pixel size into consideration, since I normal run all games on default screen resolution that the game runs in.

That's for the card, manufactered by eVGA, the one I have installed on my desktop.

Same card, but manufactered by NVidia themself, same price, but I still prefer the one manufactered by eVGA since, if I am not mistaken, eVGA guarantee is not voided by overclocking, that is, if I remember correctly.

Looked up some images and info to tell if the dimension 2400 is agp or pci express, couldn't tell if it's pci express or agp, so just in case, giving you a link for the agp version of the card, by another manufacter that I don't know though.

Hope that helped.

I like ATI better than nvidia as well.  With my old nvidia card I had more problems than I could count.  Always needing to tweak this or that.  Just make sure that with whatever card you get your computer can support it.

Thats too bad cause dell makes like all their laptops with ATI. How are the HP laptops with the Sims 2 games? Does anyone know?


I use an HP laptop with Radeon XPress 200M graphics.  It seems great to me.  I don't have any problems with game speed or anything (I did have a spikey boob issue, though  :blob6:).
