Mr._Burns 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I got a new computer and am looking to buy a new video card, but I find mixed reviews with the ones that catch my eye. I'm hoping to get some advice on the cards I have listed below. And even some suggestions if I don't have them listed, but I'm not looking to spend more than $90. So any suggestions? EVGA GeForce 7600 GS / 512MB GDDR2 / SLI Ready / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / HDTV EVGA GeForce 7300 GT / 512MB DDR2 / AGP 8x / DVI / VGA / HDTV HIS Radeon X1650 Pro / 512MB GDDR2 / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / HDTV / CrossFire Ready Diablotek GeForce 6600 LE / 512MB DDR / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / TV Out NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT Silent Running / 512MB DDR2 / SLI Ready / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / HDTV Thanks in advance!

Scrap them. You don't want a 512 with DDR2 as DDR3 cards will kick there butt with only 256 (note most DDR3 also have higher core clocks) ... such as the 8600GT I would go with something in the 8000 series due to direct x 10 and crysis + the future.

Nutlink 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 8600GT and EVGA would be my two choices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Make sure you don't get an AGP card if you need PCI express, or vice versa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
