Where can I learn what these specs mean & performance

I really don't know if im going to sell my current graphic card and buy a new one. Currently I got the ATI Radeon HD 4870 Series (), and maybe I might consider upgrading her to a ATI Radeon HD 4870 Series x2 or maybe I might even get an GTX GeFroce card.

Looking to spending anywhere from 200.00-350.00 Canadian. :shock:

The Site has all these Geforce cards with EXTRA tunes into them. Which really I don't know what they mean, which confusses me more about the quality and performance.

I'd not upgrade at this point. You have a good GFX card as is. Wait for the high end 40nm parts to start shipping.

Which GeForce cards are you referring to?

^^ i agree, id stick with that 4870 which should be more that enough until the new tech starts rolling out.

To View your Specs.

XP:
Start > Run > Type dxdiag and Click OK
Vista:
Start > Type dxdiag and push Enter

That should give you some pretty detailed specs, enough for most people.

If not:
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information

yeah, u probably should do some research and such before jumping into the hardware market, its always changing and sometimes confusing so u better read up on the hardware.
