VisionTek - ATI RADEON HD 4350 512MB DDR2 PCI Express Graphics Card

OR

PNY - GeForce 210 1GB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card

these are my only 2 choices

which one is better? and why?

Lawliet1 · 06-26-2011, 08:00 AM

These cards are pretty close. The 4350 has a slightly faster core speed, but only by 11 MHz, and it has a shorter power draw by 5.5 Watts. It also has 80 shader processors, that's 64 more shader processors than the nVidia card. The nVidia card has a 30.5 Watt power draw, and a MUCH higher shader clock, (1402 MHz) compared to the ATi's mere 600 MHz. The processor on the ATi card is 55nm as for the nVidia one is 40nm.

Looking at these specs, I think I may just go with the ATi card. It seems to be better in a lot of areas.

thanks.

how does 1402mhz compare to 600mhz? wouldnt the geforce be better just becuase of this factor.

also the geforce has 1gb and the ati is 512mb

ugh i dunno which oneeeee lol

im leaning towards the ati one

Go with the geforce card if that's the case.

people say i would even beable to run most newer games on higher settings
is this true lol?

Lawliet1 · 06-26-2011, 09:03 AM

Definitely go with the geforce.

LOL and no both of those cards are slightly sub par compared to newer cards out right now.

TBH neither of them are ideal for todays standards of high end gaming but don't let that discourage you.

Delamorte · 06-26-2011, 09:13 AM

haha okay

well if this is on sale ATI Radeon HD 4550 1GB in store not just website ill get this(im pretty sure this is the better out of all 3)

if not im going to get the GeForce 210 1GB DDR2

VisionTek - ATI RADEON HD 4350 512MB DDR2 PCI Express Graphics Card seems to fail

If you need a new GPU to game anything released in the past 2 years... forget it. You'll have shitty performance with those cards.

They're literally aimed at office stuff PCs. Nothing else.

If your budget is around 65USD then I would advise this instead.

Although I am unsure if your Power Supply could support it.
