In normal 2-D work, both my cards the ATI 6800 and 5400 refresh HD display at the same speed, nor does any task slow down due to slower graphics card. Yes when I tested some 3-D games, the difference was there, the image refresh in the monitor connected to 5400 was much slower than that connected to 6800. The downside to faster cards is not only the price but a bit increase in power consumption - you will need better PS and better cooling.</p></blockquote><p></p>
