confused on processor vs graphics card
hi,
heyy i need a new machine for graphics applications and i need to know whether i should invest more on processor or graphics card.
Should I go for Opteron and a 6600gt card...
or
Should I go for AMD Dualcore x2 with a quadra card...

Re: confused on processor vs graphics card
Intel C2D 6300 with 7800 GT. For graphic applications and gaming its the GPU thats imp all the way. If you r on a tighter budget I'd suggest AMD X2 4200+ or even 3800+ and you can opt for 7900 GS. But 6300 with 7800 GT for me would be the best combination.

Re: confused on processor vs graphics card
well man amd is not the way to go, until and unless you have an old amd based mobo which you want to use dont go for AMD. the intel core 2 duo's are very good.
an e6300 (9k) + 7900 gt (16k) will be quite good.
though if you want to stick to amd then get a 4200+ X2 am2 and a 7900 GT or 7900 GS (14.5k)Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 | Gigabyte 945 GM S2 |2X1 GB DDR2 transcend @ 667 mhz| Samsung 740N (17in)| 200GB Seagate SATA HDD | LG H10N | logitech MX 518 | Steelpad 5L | Philips HP 805

Re: confused on processor vs graphics card
Well .. for graphics applications , i'd recommend a 6 series card ,... coz those are easily soft-moddable to Quadro's ... and that makes really some diff.
Say , get a E6400 with a 6800GS ...

Re: confused on processor vs graphics card
What will u be using this machine for?
See for graphics purpose go the best CPU and more RAM that comes within ur budget. Also get a minimun 6600gt.
But if you are into gaming get a C2D/AMD X2 + minimum of 7600gt + 1GB RAM.---------------------------------------------------

Re: confused on processor vs graphics card
Look, if your priority is gaming, then A64 single core + 1900xt > Dual core + 7900GT in majority of cases. The GPU is way more important and there are no 2 ways about it. But games of the near future will use the CPU almost as much as the GPU, or atleast use the CPU much more than what is the current requirement, so it would be a good idea to get Amd X2 or Intel C2D + atleast 7900GT/1900xt level card or Dx 10 card.
But for graphic apps like maya, 3ds max, flash etc, I doubt whether the GPU is going to make any difference at all unless you are a professional. So for most of us any el cheapo card or lower mainstream card equiped with a fast CPU and lots of RAM is what counts for these apps.

Re: confused on processor vs graphics card
RAM will matter the most, CPU will be very important, get a lower mainstream GPU, it would hardly matter unless you are a pro or something.

Re: confused on processor vs graphics card
48k is no big deal that you will fit in a mainstream card when not required.
