As some of you know know I'm selling my wii on ebay my.ebay.com.au/ and i want to buy a video card. Well there is one video card that really got my attention. It is HIS ATI Radeon X1950 PRO 512MB DDR3 575MHz. But then i kept on looking to see if i can find it cheaper. But then i found this cgi.ebay.com.au/

I don't know which one i should get. The only difference is that the second one is 650mhz and the first is 575mhz. The price doesn't make a difference for me but i just want to know is 75mhz a big difference and which one is better.

The first one is $120 GBP + $31 GBP shipping. ($374 au)

The second one is $132 GBP + $31 shipping. ($402 AU)

If you intend to play games at a higher resolution with max AA then 75mhz does make a lot of difference.

DON'T GET 'HIS' FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

www.centrecom.com.au/
Shipping will be much cheaper.
and you get a decent brand.

You seem to be changing your mind too much, It's not a good thing.
Research the products you are buying.

I can guarantee that the Graphics Card in the link i just posted will be atleast 20% better.

If you want to get a little bit better;
go: www.centrecom.com.au/

Read what I'm posting.
I'd hate to see you buy crap off eBay, and get ripped off on shipping.

Both of those cards are Cheaper, and much better quality.

RE;PM

Listen to me, Read what I am saying.

HIS are complete utter ****.
512mb isn't going to make any difference, at all.
That card doesn't come with a Molex adaptor for additional power, so you could be without a card for sometime untill you track one down.

**** cards = **** performance.

Ask a computer technician, They will think you are completely insane for choosing HIS over Gigabyte. Heck - anything over Gigabyte is worrying.

You asked for help, This is my help.
Goodluck with a problematic Card.

Gigabyte are good video cards, and decently priced. You can even get free Doom 3 with one of them!

lol i would never pay over 100 for a video card. The only reason you would ever need a 512mb DDR300 video card would be for high quality 3D modeling, Graphic design, video editing or running multiple screens. It's a waste to use such a good video card like that just to play a few games.

So the $400 isn't good? I don't really care if it comes with anything free i just want it to be good.

One of the reasons i wanted the $400 from ebay was because of it's design

centrecom aren't too bad (around the corner from where i live), I wish msy would ship out (omg the cheapest! - msy.com.au), but they don't. if you have a card in mind you can use one of those shop-bots (use google australia to search the model number) and they find a good price usually.

Good luck, I get away with a shockingly old 16mb TNT2 cos I can't afford any better.
