Re: Seeking Graphics Card Advice for the P5B- Deluxe

U use the Asus En7600GT Silent and its handles everything I have thrown at it.
I chose this one over the Gigabyte silent as it only takes one slot not two and allows an extra PCI slot usage in my P5B
Deluxe.


I chose the Gigabyte card as it was the second fastest silent card in a review by anandtech. The ASUS 7600 series cards they reviewed were GS series and much slower than the Gigabyte. If they have upgraded their cards since then, and I'm sure they have, I would like to see a comparison between the Gigabyte and ASUS cards.

| Hello All,
|
| I'm Looking for graphics card suggestions for my new P5B Deluxe system.
| Some things I'm looking for are PCI express, Nvidia chipset, 256-512MB
| DDR-2? I currently have a 19" ViewSonic CRT, but will be upgrading to a
| 20-22" LCD in the near future (looking for suggestions here too.) I
| hope the new card will work with my existing monitor for a month or two??
|
| I don't play many games, mostly financial work (i.e. large spreadsheets,
| databases, accounting and tax software) w/occasional photography work.
| Though I'd like to be able to watch, and edit, movies and DVD's on my
| new system, I'm more concerned with a clear, readable image w/small
| fonts. I was hoping to find a decent graphics card for ~$150.00, or so?
| Is the GeForce 7600GT a good card? What about the 7600GS or 7900GS?
| Any specific brands?
|
| Also, I will be using MS VISTA Ultimate if it matters.
|
| Thanks,
|
| Steven
