graphics card

[greyghoul]

I've only been in SL for a few days. I have a fairly high-end PC but I'm wondering if I could improve my graphics from High to Ultra by changing my graphics card. The one I'm using at the moment is GeForce GTS 250. My last PC had a GTX 880. Does anyone know if using this card would improve my experience of SL?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

the 8800 GTX is actually older model card, with ~25% lower reported texture fill rate, but it does have a better memory path, and may have more available memory depending on which GTX 250 card you have, although the 250 has has faster clock speed all around.

overall my guess would be that the 250 will beat out the older card in performance, but the older card will win out in initial speed of draw, which may be a bonus if you teleport around a lot.

Thanks a lot, VS. I think I'll stick with the 250 ( 1 GB ).
