What Graffikcard is better?
NVIDIA GeForce 220GT 1GB DDR2 or Sapphire Radeon HD 5450 512 MB DDR2 2.8GB HyperMemory Support
My first card was the NVIDIA but the game crashes and the Raddeon HD is juts **** graffik even if i play on low the game laggs ;(
To be honest, neither.
Save some money and get a decent card. I know it is frustrating at times and you really want something now, but down the road you will regret it.
Brands to not make a difference for me, but i used ATI for 1 year (2x5770s crossfire) and their drivers were just horrible. Last year, i remember a driver's update every 10 days or so, it was silly. Even today, their driver's are more mature, but still suffer the same.
NVIDIA, this is where i switched to the GTX 570, and the difference is huge. Not just FPS boost, but ALL applications and games just run so much smoother. Those guys make much better drivers and though NVIDIA draws more power, there is a reason for it, it performs bloody good.
Take you're pick between brands, it is YOU'RE money and YOU'RE choice, but i am never going back to ATI after my NVIDIA experience.
Trust me on one thing though, save some money and get a good card. Go for a 6950/6970 or a GTX 570. Price for performance are just killers.
Honestly, I already went through this with him. He'll probably just ignore your good advice and go to anther forum asking "which is better, the 220GT or 5450?"
