• Buying a new graphics card, suggestions?
    14 replies, posted
I want to buy a new graphics card, I already checked a lot of benchmarks but I want some opinions/personal experience before I make my final decision. At the moment the ''Asus GeForce GTX 460, 1GB, DirectCU'' is for sale at my local shop for €159/218$/£134. But if anyone knows a better card for that price, please do tell. Some stuff Speccy doesn't tell you: CPU: Intel E7400 is clocked to 3,33 Ghz Current card: ATi HD4850 512mb PSU: Coolermaster Real Power M520 Budget: €160/220$/£135 [img]http://gyazo.com/74c412ad9029a942f20262189b5e028b.png[/img]
the 3dfx voodoo3, it allows you to play the latest games such as quake 3 arena in stunning 22-bit colour
Thanks for the shit post
that should be a pretty good price for a full 460, just check the price against any 6850s on the same site as they perform near identically but depending on the site may be priced higher or lower
Sapphire Radeon HD 6850, 1GB €175/240$/£148 Asus Radeon HD 6850, 1GB, DirectCU €188/$258/£159 So you would suggest the 460 over the 6850? or I can't really go wrong with either?
whichever is cheapest, they perform within a few FPS of each other and there's no major feature differences between them so go with the 460

it's pretty damn obvious he's not in the US so giving him newegg links is stupid
[QUOTE=reapaninja;28252176]it's pretty damn obvious he's not in the US so giving him newegg links is stupid[/QUOTE] I don't think he would post his budget in 3 currencies, inlcuding the US dollar, unless he was open to all suggestions.
I don't think he'd post his budget in 3 different currencies if he were in the US
Well, either way, newegg is a perfectly fine information hub with a large electronic section available. If he doesn't purchase from there, he can easily find another site that has his ware.
Get a 6850/6870 when you have the money, crossfire them
I posted 3 currencies cause it's easier for everyone. I bought the Asus GTX460 and I'm happy with it thanks for the suggestions! And I didn't have money to crossfire 2 6850's lol.
That's why I said "when you have the money"
GTX 480 :buddy:
