Which graphics card?
I just bought a GTS 250 1GB GDDR3 from futureshop. It was usually 269.99, But i bought it for just 149.99. I am currently deciding if the GTS 250 beats the HD 4650 1GB GDDR3  that im using.I do not know what brand is my current card. It came with the computer that I bought for boxing day. I also want to know if I open my computer would that void my warranty??

Re: Which graphics card?

First off the gts 250 is a superior card to the 4650... you will see an increase of about 20fps (frames per second) going from a 4650 to a gts 250. 

 

 

I don't know if opening your case voids your warranty or not... 

 

 One thing you should look into is according to the website the power supply requirements for the gts 250 need to be above 475W, does you power supply meet this requirement (2 of the 3 gts 250 cards on the website state this)

Re: Which graphics card?

The GTS250 is a superior card and I would suggest a minimum of 500W power supply to run it.
