Witch Impacts Game Performance More - Video Card or Processor?

Well, what do you think? If you ask me, I'd say a video card affects game performance more.

Well if you've got a 1ghz processor and a 9800 pro, the video cards gonna run like crap because it's restricted on how fast it can go.

well, thinking that they have a ligidiment processor....

I'd would say definitely the video card. Jumping from MX440 to 9800xt those months ago made a nice difference.

A intergrated video card sucks. But when my friend changed to a better video card it went much faster online. I say Video Card. I suggest a nice one. Dont buy the expensive ones that will do the same as the other ones.

Processor because without a good processor, even a Radeon X800 will run like crap.

Yeah but it works vice-versa. Since most pc's today come with at least 1.6Ghz +, the video card is your best bet.
