[Advantage]

Hiya guys,
im looking to upgrade my graphics card , and dont have alot of money.....
so im asking for advice on what to get
what i have at the moment is an Nvidia geforce 6100 nForce 405

ATI sapphire radeon 9550.

Handled Gmod perfectly in my other pc.

http://www.dabs.com - nice site with cheap graphics cards on. I fully trust them and i usually get my kit from them.

[Advantage]

i have an Nvidia chipset :/

[Teddi]

They have nvidia cards as well.

Go for a 7600

Click for the 7600 (http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=40B7&SearchType=1&CategorySelectedId=11021&SearchTerms=nvidia&PageMode=3&SearchKey=All&SearchMode=All&NavigationKey=11021&ExposedRefinement=269)

you can get some 8 series card for pretty cheap

[Teddi]

I would only got for an 8800 with a S8 card.

7600 > 8500GT. Only get a random 8000 card if you want DX 10 (and you have vista).

edit: Or its a 8800GTX

7600 looks good .... im considering it , and i'm also considering buying a cheap LCD monitor , anyone know anything?

Samsung is good, the price depends on where you get it, though.

GeForce 8800GT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133205)

It's a cheap card w/ amazing performance.

I'd recommend a 8800GT, too. My one works amazingly well with GMod.

Well, compared to the 128mb ATI x800 (or something around that, I've already expunged all memory of it out of my mind).

[Advantage]

if i go for one i think i would go for GTS , because its much cooler , but i dont know , ive got to sort it all out

AMAZING PRICE ON 9800 GX2 I checked out the specs they are better than some of the more expensive ones its a really greay buy since like all the other GX2's are 400-500 bucks or wtf ever

yeah don't get the 7600, get that ^ will perform much better on any game that will come out this year/last year etc...

Vouch cheap price and good in performance.It like around 100-150$.Don't buy in the 7 series's.

I had a evga 7600gt in my old system with pentium4 2.8ghz and 1.5mb ram. The frame rates were playable but not that great :/

The GTX 280 rivals/slightly beats the 9800GX2s performance.

Plus, you need to understand that the GX2 has two PCBs, so it's technically two cards. The GTX 280 is one card, but with a massive fucking GPU Die size (About 5.5cm.)

:O

What's your price range for a cheap LCD monitor, Advantage?
