Noonmid27 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hi guysWhen picking a video card what are the specifications that i should pay close attention to.....this card will be used for running linux and maybe windows for gaming. by specifications i mean like chipset, memory technology, RAMDAC speed.......etc, which is the most important for quality performance..........i really dont wanna be one of those guys who just pick the most expensive card with no knowledge of specifications of the card.

goretsky Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hello,Rather than try and determine the best video card first, I would suggest you try contacting the authors of the software packages you will be using and see what recommendations they have.

striker Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 noon, whatever you take, select something nvidia based : it's by far better supported in linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2cm Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 linux + windows gaming = nvidia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specmon Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm told that the Nvidia G92, due out real soon at about $250is a generational leap above current cards costing three times as much or more.Lots of those current cards are on sale as they are about to become marginalized, specifically the GTX series.Do some investigation now before you buy.
