Hi guys, I was wondering if anybody could help me with this problem.
I'm thinking about upgrading my m15x's graphic card nvidia gtx 260m, so I called up my local dell service center and they gave me 2 options
VGA card ( CRD,GRPHC,N11E,GS ) For Alienware Laptop M15x USD 497
VGA card ( CRD,GRPHC,HD,5850,PRO ) For Alienware Laptop M15x USD 373
I was wondering which one is better?
Also I'm probably just gonna run these card stock because I need to have these cards last for a long time
PS I don't really know what card is n11e gs I think it's Nvidia 460m cause I asked about it when I called them but I'm probably wrong
Thanks

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is a 460m GTX. They both are great. If you want performance go for the 5850, if you want cuda and physx, go with the 460m. If you want to pwn all, go for the 6970m
-
With the 5850 costing $125 less than the 460m, that's a no brainer.
-
Thanks for the help guys
If the 460m is like 30% more powerful than the 5850 than I'll be willing to pony up the cash
-
Yeah true. The 5850 has great overclockability you can get it to much more than 30% quicker than the 460m. Go for the ATi.
-
Thanks man -
-
Yeah from what I read around the forums the 5850 is more promising than the 460 (and cheaper of course)
Guess I need to learn how to overclock properly
How much is 6970 nowadays anyway?
Anyway thanks for the help -
Here's the ebay link for it.
Internet shopping isn't scary as long as you do your research on who you're buying from first. -
I guess I'll have to check that out first
thanks man
