For 30$ more you get like triple the performance of those crap budget cards.

[/quote] Yes, always always always, look at what is the next step up and check to see what the price to performance gain that you get by throwing down a little more scratch. In the long run spending a small amount extra now will pay off big in the long run. Re: hey which graphics card should i buy? - KarthXLR - 01-15-2009 I recommend going for a 9800 GT. It's cheap for the power, can run a bunch of games on high or max, and can run crysis on medium at about 60 fps. (For 120-130 bucks that's a really good bargain.) Re: hey which graphics card should i buy? - Versus - 01-15-2009 what kind of mobo do you have?

[/quote] Well, NewEgg keeps sending me e-mails telling me how much they love me and giving me deals. They don't know I won a hueg computer though (which I've bee informed has FINALLY shipped btw). There's some same type ATI cards for cheaps right now. A 4830 with $5 off and free shipping using the codes EMCABBEAK and EMCABBDEC (this is comparable to a 8800/9800GT afaik) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102803&nm_mc=EMC-CONEVA011309&cm_mmc=EMC-CONEVA011309-_-VideoCard-_-E7-_-14102803 And a 4850 with $20 off using the code EMCABBDEB (more comparable to like a 9800GTX or w/ever I think) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102770&nm_mc=EMC-CONEVA011309&cm_mmc=EMC-CONEVA011309-_-VideoCard-_-E6-_-14102770 So that's like $85 or $135 not including rebates or any crap. I thought you had a decent video card tho?

Or would I be better off going 9800 GT or GTX?

Re: hey which graphics card should i buy? - copulatingduck - 01-16-2009 Go with at least a 9800GT, a 4850 if you're willing to save up for it. Re: hey which graphics card should i buy? - Luca Shoal - 01-16-2009 So would that last one be a good buy y/n Re: hey which graphics card should i buy? - Wedge - 01-16-2009 (01-16-2009, 04:14 PM)TVs Luca link Wrote: So would that last one be a good buy y/n If you really want COD 4 I guess. I got a free copy on one of my video cards, beat it in a day and never touched it again. But you can get a 4850 for only like $5-10 more, which is a better card.

[/quote] I recommend looking at the approval rating on those first two. Go for an XFX 9800 Gt. I think it comes with Farcry 2 or something.
