My wife finally killed her computer, and I am in the process of looking for a new one. I have it down to two and need a little help with the graphics card selection.
Can anyone tell me which of the following two is better and why?
nVidia GeForce GTS 240 1024MB GDDR3 (with the Dell system) 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 HP (with the HP system)
Also, I am aware of the benefits of building my own system and am not interested in doing so - just wanted to toss that out there to disuade anyone from ranting about buying from HP or Dell; both of whom I have had positive and negative experiences with before. So thanks in advance for keeping it on topic.
Don't overthink it..Why? Because even if you buy the most advance, awesome, technologically superior graphics card rig, SLI and whatnot..2 days from then your rig will be so outdated, it's fucking ridiculous. Get a not-so-costly, decent card, and stick with. That means anything from an 8800 GTX to a GTX 260, which should be your final resort since even that is not so cheap.
i don't know much about the ati side, but i do know that the 240 is low end, so out of those two i would go with the ati, because it's more in the middle
