• Time to upgrade my Video Card!
    54 replies, posted
Well, my 8800GTS 320mb recently went down the shitter. That enables me to get a new card! Now I don't know whether to go with Nvidia or ATI. I went to Fry's and looked through the selection, but I don't know what to get. So far, my top two picks are: ATI Diamond HD4850 1GB PNY GTS 250 512MB The ATI thing is a deal going on on Frys.com, both items are the same price, and they're better than my old card (at least I think so) Any ideas on another card for $150 price limit? PCI-E express x16.
4870 1GB [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150394[/url]
Don't go for the GTS 250 as that is a Remark of the 9800GTX and not much of a gain. I recommend Any ATI HD 4870 512MB or 1GB OR for Nvidia (fuck off Fanboyism) Nvidia GTX 260 or GTX 275.
The 275 is out of his price range.
[QUOTE=Melons;17132860]The 275 is out of his price range.[/QUOTE] Nu uh
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~;17132867]Nu uh[/QUOTE] Yes it is, the lowest 275 on newegg is $210.
GTX 260 is 150@ microcenter I think the 275 was 189 now, but I got mine for 199 (rather than 240 on newegg) (at time of purchase)

Get the 4870 1GB. It just about beats the GTX 260 216 core.
[QUOTE=Soldier32;17133270]Get the 4870 1GB. It just about beats the GTX 260 216 core.[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, I can only buy this at Fry's. (It's huge Computer store, just for people who don't know.) Fry's sells it for $190, but my limit is $150.
Why can't you buy it from newegg?
If you can spend an extra $20 then get the GTX 260 if not then get the XFX 4850 1GB [url]http://www.frys.com/product/5940394?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG[/url]
Is this card is better than my 8800GTS, yes or no? [url]http://www.frys.com/product/5932654?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG[/url] Seems like the only thing worse is the Memory Interface. It's in my price range and I have the power supply.
Why can't you order from newegg?

[QUOTE=Melons;17137619]Or he could just buy it from newegg.[/QUOTE] He obviously can't so maybe instead of being an annoying prick actually help the guy out.
I've decided to get this. [url]http://www.frys.com/product/5944684?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG[/url]
Jesus fuck, you need people to help you, they ask you a simple question and you just blatantly ignore it.
[QUOTE=Dippeggs;17144513]I've decided to get this. [url]http://www.frys.com/product/5944684?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG[/url][/QUOTE] Diamond is a terrible brand, and so is Powercolor. Why can't you order from Newegg damn it?
Because he's an ignorant fuckface who doesn't want any help.
Jesus you guys are assholes. I'm, buying from frys but I live very close to it, and if for some reason that card doesn't work I can return it right away.
And ripping your wallet a carefully constructed superfluous new behind.
