• Is a GeForce 6500 good?
    195 replies, posted
So I finally saved up for a new graphics card, I'm getting it next week. Bad news is, I only saved up $60. So my Dad is buying me a GeForce 6500 off of eBay. So that's why I'm asking, is a GeForce 6500 good? Does anybody have any pic's of what it can do? And here I was hoping I could buy CS:S instead. :[ But I gotta fix the Black Screen of Death.
Heres a summary. Its shit.

poop
GDDR3 4650. Get that instead. OP, what are your current specs?

Even maxes Crysis with the res at 1024 x 768.
9400 would probably work well. Though a 4650 or 4670 would work better.

Im running on a geforce 6150 SE and I can run those games, of coarse the game will lag.
Get an ATI HD 4670 instead.
My friend just bought 6600 for 5 euros

Get the 4650 AGP card then? or the one that is similar in the nasme but is a 4series agp card
Eek, that's bad. OP, what's your CPU? Hey, if you can convince me somehow, I'll send you my old AGP X800 Pro 256MB for $25 shipped.
Get a 4670, brilliant card for the pricerange, had it for a few months and it's worked like a charm.

I'd give it to you for a cheapo Steam game or something - ATM it's languishing in the attic. Add me on Steam and we can talk. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197973010281[/url]
I'd be more worried about your RAM than your graphics card.. Seriously, you'd be better off just building a new PC.
4650 or 4670.
don't buy off eBay

What's your zip code? I'd consider giving this card to you for free if I deem you worthy.
