which is Better

Post by Nonsense Man »

Which Graphics card is better graphics wise the ATI RADEON XPRESS 200
or the nVIDIA® GeForce™ 6150LE because the better of the two is needed to be known.

I'd sayed there about equal. Besides integrated graphics aren't that great anyway.

I can say that the ATI is really good, it's what my laptop has (200M). Hell if you were going to upgrade to Vista (that's a laugh) this chip set can handle it.

if the mobo has agp slot get his hihtech iceq x1600pro 256 or 512, best agp card you can get, the 512 is under 150$ 256 is barely above 100. for pciE get the best you cna afford, dont bother with integrated graphics unless your getting a laptop an dhave no choice

I have a couple of radeons, but I have had two Nvidio cards (one of them a GE force) and I seem to get better support and quality with the radeons. The GE force always gives me problems when I'm trying to run games, and even though it's a 64 MB, (previously) top of the line card, it struggles to run even older games like RTCW which only require 16-32 mb of memory. And the processor is more than fast enough to run the games lagless.
