• New graphics card?
    5 replies, posted
My parents are thinking of getting me a new graphics card for my birthday. Our budget is $150 or lower, but lower is better. I think I have my graphics card decided, but I'm not 100% sure about this brand. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131330[/url] It costs $119 with free shipping, which is a pretty big difference between it and the next one which costs $134. My specs: CPU - i7 920 @ 2.66 GHz GPU - 4850 512MB (pretty much broken) RAM - 3GB DDR3 PSU - OCZ ModXStream 600W. Monitor resolution: 1400x1050 Is there a better graphics card for the price?
the 5770 is pretty much the best you can get for $120 right now
the gtx460 preforms a little better, but the cheapest 768mb model is 160$, so that's probably the best you can get.
If you're able to shop on other sites, you probably can get a GTX 460 for $130~. [editline]7th January 2011[/editline] Well, here's one for $140. [url]http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Technology-GeForce-Graphics-60XMH6HS3HMW/dp/B003VKGZSM/ref=sr_1_18?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1294448257&sr=1-18[/url]
I think for 1400x1050 a 5770 is great. A 460 would probably be overkill.
I would get the 460 also.
