So, it was my birthday....

Like the topic says, it was my birthday recently and I figured I would buy myself a new video card.

However, after doing some research on the interwebs about the card I was going to buy and my current card, it turns out that my current video card ( an ATi HD 5770 1GB) is only *slightly* less bad than the video card I was planning on getting..... and the card I have is about 2 years old!

The card I was going to get was a (takes a deep breath) XFX Radeon HD7750 800M/1300M 2GB 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort .

It appears that despite my video card being a couple of generations old and only having 1gb of ram, it has one thing the other card doesn't have --- GDDR5 ram, while the new card only has GDDR3.

What that means is that while my current card has half the ram of the new one, it has twice the bandwidth or something like, which means it can throw almost as many pixels at the screen as the new one.

At that point I decided it would be a waste of time to get a new video card. lol.
