Hardware What Hardware Should I Buy? - April 2009

sure the Premium Player option should contain top notch no compromise parts, but I guess even rich people have a limit for how much they want to waste. You could probably spend a million dollars on a computer if you bought a gold plated case for it decorated with diamonds, but that doesn't give you better performance does it?

 

I can't believe there are still people who think ATI drivers suck.

When have you last tried an ATI card? What kind of problems have you had with recent drivers?

 

I miss the AMD alternatives!

 

+1

At least give use some alternatives..

 

I still think you would see quite a difference in performance, especially in resolutions as high as 2560x1600, by going 285 SLI instead of 260 SLI.

 

Wouldn't It be smarter at that point to buy a GTX 295?

Or dare I say: 2 GTX 275s?

 

Thanks ever so much for these guides, they really are an invaluable, easy source of reliable info both for myself and for referring friends to that are looking to build their first systems, or upgrade from existing ones.
