Graphics card advice

Post by Gore »

So I've just basically renewed all of the parts in my rig and thought that I could as well get a new GPU. I have a Sparkle 8800 GT 512mb GDDR 3 and looking for something better for under 200 dollars. It has to be Nvidia GF. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I remember a website where they had these graphs showing performance and comparings of cards, anybody have a link to that?

Thanks a bunch in advance.

I think the website you are after is 'Tom's Hardware'

Google is your friend.

Well the point of this forum section is technical support isn't it.

I guess I'll wait a bit. 260 and 275 cards still cost a bit more than 200 dollars here in DK. And the performance increase isn't more than 10-15%

Maybe I should spend the money on a 10.000 rpm HDD instead?

Thanks for the replies.
