Graphic Card

[alihirsch]

Hi,

my graphic card just gave up it was a 9800GT. I am looking for something similar maybe a little bit more up to date. Of course I am here to look for a good deal so something that is as good and hopefully in a good 100-150$ range :).

Thanks

1. do you have a agp or a PCI-e connector? I know 9800 came in both.

2. are you looking new, or would you go used too?

3. Look here for some idea on info for ya. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-radeon-hd-6870-radeon-hd-6850,2782-3.html

probably a 5770 if you have PCI-e http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125327

 

maybe step up to a 5850? even if it is used....

I got a Gateway fx4710 - ub802a and as far as i know it has PCI-E 2.0 ×16. I am not sure about used graphiccards, I am a little bit afraid of buying it used.

If that is the case, then based on your budget you have a lot of new 5770 card options, may every once in a while find one of the new 6850 cards on sale.

Now, the 6850 has performance on par with 5830, not the 5850, but new tech upgrades just to remember.
