    Where can I learn what these specs mean & performance

    http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...2345213,00.asp

    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.
