I just got help building a system: Please help me pick a board for a Q6700 I'll sum up: ABIT IX38 Quad GT LGA 775 Intel X38 E8400 4GB OCZ REaper 1066 Ram now I need a card, the mb has 2 pci express 16 2.0 ports I am not a gamer but would like to encode some movies, most of all I am sick of my .mkv HD files stuttering an HDTV I would like to view on at times.

| Re: Help pick a video card out, Im lost here... Good luck with the new system! Re video cards, start by checking out the comparison charts on NVIDIA's site, which are somewhat oversimplified but will give you an idea of the performance heirarchy of the different models: NVIDIA GeForce Family Also, check out the discussion of the EVGA 8800GS near the end of my recent "My New Build" thread: My New Build Regards, -- Al

| Re: Help pick a video card out, Im lost here... So far, I like the 8800 series. Seems like a nice mix of what I need. |

| Re: Help pick a video card out, Im lost here... Yes, there's a lot of good stuff to choose from in that series. As you may realize, Nvidia actually doesn't make the video cards, just the chips, and I think ATI also has pretty much phased out of making cards. EVGA is one of the most highly regarded among many card-makers. Since the cards are all built around the same graphics processor chips, the main differences between makers (for a given configuration) are quality, support, and in some cases overclocking that is designed into some of them.
