sorry if this is a repost:
Hi, i have some questions about video cards. i REALLY dont know a lot about computers when it comes to taking them apart and adding/removing hardware. actually i dont know anything.
Im obviously a gamer and want to get a new video card to support the games i want to play.
I looked it up and found that i need a video card that is pci-e 16x and a few other things.
Right now im considering getting a radeon 1gb hd 5750. but im confused about a few things.
1)Will the Radeon 5750 be what i need?
2) whats with the ATI, sapphire, ASUS, Diamond radeon cards? Whats the real difference between all these different prefixes to the Radeon 5750 video card?
3) I see pci-e 16x "2.0". What is the difference between 2.0 and 1.0?
Im running a Emachines Et1831-03 with these following specs:
Again sorry if this has been discussed already, but i really dont trust my ability in judging computer parts and really want to be careful with my money.
thanks
