Thread: Graphics card

  1. #1
    Ibe been looking for a graphics card thats suitable to my budget. I came across this one, and to me it looks ok, im sure it would run all the latest games, which is what i need.

    However, im not entirely sure that this is a good graphics card, as i dont know much about them. So i was wondering if this is any good, if not could somebody recommend a graphics card that is good for a similar price.

    it'll work, but it's quickly being replaced. you have a better chance going with the 9800, at least the 9600, it's got a little time left in it.

    Yeah. I agree with VB. Nvidia is another very good choice.

    My 9800 pro is 2 years old, and that is just capable of running BF2, albeit on med settings. $40 for a graphics card is just plain silly. I know you're after the cheapest you can get but you only get what you pay for. oh and don't shop at pc world. they like ripping people off.

    Just a tip, when u buy graphics cards, go as high as humanly possible in your budget to get the best card u possibly can. U want to have the card last a long time before buying another. If u just buy alot of cheap cards, u will end up paying alot more than just one expensive, good card.
