Other Considerations

There are many other things you have to think about. What will be your primary applications? Are you a full-time 3-D gamer with a demand for a high-end video card or are you planning on connecting your card to a TV to watch movies? Of course, if you are a serious gamer, you need a high-end graphics card power by Nvidia’s SLI or ATI’s Crossfire technology. If you’re simply looking for a new graphics card to replace your old one without TV-OUT to connect your PC to TV to watch movies and you rarely play 3-D games on your computer, you probably don’t need to spend $500 on a video card while you can get a decent graphics card for under $100 with S-Video or even HDMI TV-Out.

So, having read this, think about your applications and your budget and when you’re ready go for it!
