Which Video Card

[Stormy]

I want a new video card and there are two I have my eye on. One is over clocked and is slightly faster all round. The second has another gig of ram. I'm not really sure which one to go for or if in fact I should be looking at something else. I like nvidia and dont want to spend anymore then 230. Thanks!

i think the 1024Mb card would be just fine.

I would say, just look up some reviews and compare what's important from you. Judging from a quick Google the EVGA is quiet and the Gainward even more so, but the EVGA card performs better because of the factory overclock(which doesn't void your 3 year warranty).

Unless you really don't want an AMD for some reason I would wait for what their next generation of cards has to offer, they usually release their new cards at the end of this month.

With those prices why not save and just get a 570?

In response though TOTALLY go for the 1gb version as it is clocked higher than the 2gb one, and the extra RAM will really not make any performance difference. Like. At. All.
I seriously reccommend getting a low end 570 however. It may have a slightly lower clock rating but the 96 extra shaders and 320-bit interface would make a world of difference for the sake of an extra 20 quid.
Ebuyer do a PNY 570 for about 245, and OCUK have them at 250ish

Its not so much I dont have enough money. Its more that I dont want to spend all my cash on video cards.

I wanted something better then I have at a reasonable price

Ended up getting this tho, best of both worlds. 2gb ram and overclocked.
