This is a short list of the meanest, fastest and most powerful 3D graphics cards on the market today. If you own one of them, well – Lucky you!
XFX GeForce 7800 GTX
The XFX GeForce 7800 GTX video card comes with a PCI Express interface, 256MB of DDR3 memory and supports a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536. Although the price is a bit steep, are one of the fastest video cards on the market at this time.
PowerColor Radeon X800 GT
A leading manufacturer of graphics cards, PowerColor has come with the PowerColor Radeon X800 GT card. The PCI Express-based, running on 256 MB DDR3 memory and a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536. Cheaper than many of the cards in this list, but still very good 3D performance. Great value for money.
BFG GeForce 7800 GTX
One PCI Express graphics card, the BFG GeForce 7800 GTX runs at 256 MB DDR3 memory and a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536. BFG produces quality video cards and the GeForce 7800 GTX is no exception. The price may deter the casual user will.
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
The ATI Radeon 9800 Pro is still one of the hottest selling high-end graphics cards on the market. The Radeon 9800 Pro graphics processor scores very high on most benchmark tests. With an AGP 8X interface, 128 MB DDR memory and a maximum screen resolution of 2048 x 1536, this card highly recommended.
Connect 3D Radeon X850 XT Platinum
Built on the Radeon X850 XT graphics processor, the Connect 3D Radeon X850 XT Platinum is a PCI Express card running at 256 MB DDR3 memory and a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536. Highly recommended for spectacular 3D performance, and give a run for the GeForce video cards their money.
Conclusion
Buying a good graphics card performance will benefit – you'll be able to see the latest 3D games on the full-screen glory, and edit video and graphics with ease.
However, please note that having a good video card unnecessary lead to great video performance. Factors such as your CPU, motherboard and system RAM will come into play. For example, with a BFG GeForce 7800 GTX installed in an old AMD Duron or Intel Pentium Celeron system will certainly not give you the video performance you need.
Now go do some research and buy that dream video card!
