Video Card thoughts

[Landro]

Here's the one I am looking at. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130442) Seems to be balance of all the cads on the site.


Here's the entire list. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%20106792634%201067946202&name=GeForce%20GTX%20285)

I am wanting to stay at or below $400 or less (before shpping).... of them all this seems the most balanced...

Will you really notice a clock speed of 702 over 666mhz??? I am figuring no...plus I get COD: WAW for my PC too :)

Thoughts?

I was looking at the 295, but they run slower and these seem to be the new 8800gts ov Nvidia. THese will be a big focus for the next couple years, from what I gather in reviews and other sites.

The clock speed doesn't really matter since you can always tweak that. What matters is the number of stream processors, the memory bandwidth, and the amount of onboard RAM.

I'd say its a good choice. Even if most of the cards are the same, the manufacturer is great. eVGA's return policies are better than most and I've heard service is better than most. They will even let you return their products if you burn them out by overclocking. :)

EVGA will also warrant a card if you replace the stock cooler. That'd be a great card.

Good review of the 285's: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-285,2139.html
