Higher clock or more ram?
Hello newsgroup,
I finaly decided to get a card with a x1950 pro chip. But I don't want to spend much on it. I am torn apart between these two cards: palit/xpertvision RX1950PRO 512 mb ram and Asus EAX1950PRO 256 mb ram the former has more ram, but clocks at 575 mhz (chip) and 1380 mhz (ram) the asus clocks at 581 mhz (chip) and 1400 mhz (ram). So, what is more important? More ram or higher clock? |

Higher clock or more ram?
The difference in clock speed is only about 1%, negligible. In this case the
512 MB card is better. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

i386 with 25 mhz and one with 33 mhz was quite big in its day.. I just can't lose this mindset. From a 25Mhz 386DX to a 33Mhz 386DX represented a 28% increase in total clock speed. From a 575 to 581Mhz GPU is a 1% increase. The RAM is a 1.45% increase. |

Err.pardon me, your math is different than mine. 256 or 512 is 100%
difference in my books. "Augustus" wrote in message news:94i9i.5235$kY6.4025@edtnps82... Well, I am still a pupil of the old school.

A RAM increase of 1.45% of course refers to the increase in frequency from 1380 to 1400Mhz. |

You must be high on crack or something.
palit/xpertvision RX1950PRO 512 mb ram and Asus EAX1950PRO 256 mb ram How are these two cards simular? AGAIN 256 X100%=512. DUH! "Augustus" wrote in message news:Z3m9i.5259$kY6.4715@edtnps82...
