Quick question
when buying a video card, what's more important core clock speed or memory bus?
i.e. should i get a card with a 256bit memory bus and slower clock speed (400/700) or should I get a 128bit memory bus with a faster clock speed (500/1000)?
Thanks. |

Well....that's tough because IMO they are both equally important. According to what you are showing us up there, I'd say go with the 256. That 128 isn't going to do much for you. I don't know if you have seen most of the newer cards out there, but most of them are only avail. in 256. That 128...man......that won't run any current game out there. |

So how available are the newer cards in Korea? I got double GeForce 7900GT 512 meg cards and one or both might have just got fried by some retarded power issue...
Are they replacable here or no |

They are only replacable where you purchased them. The 7900GT here would be well over $300. |

| Well I purchased it in USA so shipping costs would be expensive and waiting forever would piss me off so if 300 is what it takes to get me going i guess id have to take it like a man and move onto a ramyeon and soju diet for awhile |

| I picked up a 7900gt 256m in yongsan a few months ago, so I would think that they probably have the 512's by now. I think I had to pay 330 for it though. |
