Wink help me choose between these 3 :D

Ok Im on limited budget and looking into these guys (all 512MB PCI Express cards)

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...4509&CatId=1826

OR

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...1768&CatId=1826

Or Perhaps

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...9699&CatId=1826

Im not to sure which features of them are better. Also checking the reviews. Im leaning towards the first one (ATI one) cause has same amount of reviews and a few more positive things,plus people say it runs Doom3 without probs and I know that is a pretty nice looking game I belive. The second one doesnt even has reviews yet so Im not to sure on that. The 3rd looks good too, but I hear complaints like loud fan and such (this would be my first really good card, seeing how Im doing major over haul lol. upgrading from puny 64MB to a 512MB)

Anyway just need help knowing which has better specs and reliabilty overall. (btw idc about the HD features so dont get away with recomedning one over the other cause it has HD lol)

Sorry I didn't reply earlier koolj

With the X700...it's a 512mb card that's based on technology that had 256mb as max over a year and a half ago...bad idea IMHO

the 6600...same as above...but a bit newer.

the 7300 is the way to go i would say

it's newer, (being around 6-7 months old) and it's EVGA, which as i understand it, have an unlimited warranty...so you can do almost anything (except solder random capasitors and resistors onto the card) and still claim under warranty if it breaks....can you say overclocking? (I would double check this before you go doing anything with it first )


out of those 3, that's what i would chose.

I would agree with GarHar's assessment-- the EVGA was my choice.

Oh ok, thanx very much. Even though it wont match the color of my MB , I rather have the newer tech. When I get it in the futre somtime I can be the first to review

BTW I dont know much about overclocking and will proboly be happy the way it is

Ah wait, I looked at reviews for it and the people said it runs slow for it being 512 and hard to belive it is 512MB ram for how fast it goes. I think Ill look for more...
