I am getting a new video card: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1218004430629

Decent price, and I'll probably a better power supply to cover it. Any suggestions?

My current one: http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce6200_pci

ANy think of any better at that price range? I mainly want it for gaming. Good fps and latency.

Also, internet fail:


Now:


FML

The 9500 is terrible for that price.

Same price, way better.

What kind of connection are you supposed to have? What speed?

How do you justify this claim?

And the highest on that is a 4850. The 4870 is better than that still:

Note that this is on a higher resolution. Top DX9 bottom DX10

And the one you suggest is the 4870? It appears the 4870 is lagging in framerate, however.

The 4870 is cheaper. The rest are $200 cards. I just want you to look at the 4870 and compare it to the 9500. 4870 has much better framerate even on a much higher resolution, for the same price. wink.gif

I want the GTX 280 SLI now...


EDIT: Wow, $1300

It will probably be your processor holding you back then. And only half a gig of RAM? You're just going to bottleneck it. If you only want to upgrade your video card then downscale, a 4670 or a 4770 would be better.

Oh, and Red, the 4870 isn't even on your first chart.

I know that. There aren't any charts that compare the 9500 and the 4870, which is why I chose two different charts for the same game. pfft.gif
