Which is better to go by when buying video card ????

Question

What is more important to go by when buying a video card the memory interface or the core clock ??? Are these the most important thing to go by also when buying a video card ????

Answer 1

They are important, but they are 2 of the 4 things to look at, the other two are pixel pipelines and memory speed. However to simplify things a bit, you can multiply core clock speed times pixel pipelines, and that gives you what is called fillrate. Then you can multiply memory speed by memory interface, (then divide by 8) and that gives you memory bandwidth. This tends to make it easier to compare if you only have two things to compare rather than four. Both are about equally important.

Answer 2

its YES & NO... yes: clock speed and memory size and bandwidth are very important esp. bandwidth and what if DDR or DDR2 or even GDDR3 last is the best 2ndly its very important your motherboard compatibility finally there is new technologies like SLI from Nvidia or Cross-fire from ATI which are better that old gpu's and had very strong processing and newest technology like 16x anti alising.

Answer 3

yes they are imp points to be kept in mmind before buying

I should go for core clock being expensive it fast and does less interfence with your cache memory
