Looking for Some Advice

[ihmitch]

I'm going to be replacing my junk EVGA GeForce 9500 GT 1GB and would like to know what some good ones are for around $150?
Here is a couple i was looking at:

• XFX PVT98GYDLU GeForce 9800 GT or GTX+
• VisionTek 900251 Radeon HD 4670

i prefer nvidia, so I'd ho with th GTX series.

It's omly my opinion.

depends on where you live... if you're in the states, for $150 you can get an HD 4870 from best buy.
VisionTek - ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express Graphics Card - 900286

Well hands down best buy for future proofing and can handel a dual slot card this one 1 gig ddr5,3 monitor support DX11. Or a competitors 5750 139.99 till Christmas Newegg.com - XFX HD-575X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards Or for an Nvidia fan theirs the GTX 250 149.99 with 10.00 MIR so 139.99 Newegg.com - EVGA 512-P3-1154-TR GeForce GTS 250 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards Evga has a 2 year limited lifetime warranty, which used to be lifetime if registered within 30 days of purchase. And XFX has a Lifetime warranty. which a warranty is very important to me when I choose a Video card since they have a higher rate of failure than any other hardware as far as I can tell. And that's my opinion, Fabe

I came across a VisionTek - ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express Graphics Card from best buy. How does that compare to the 5770? What do you think of the card?

 

[ThePizzaMan]

its a good card, um...... about the same unless you get to dx 11....... but for price issues...... best buy usually doesn't have the uh..... best buy, try tigerdirect, newegg, or compusa

incase you didn't know Nvidia make another line of graphics cards called the quadro series and are only made by nvidia themselves not third party's, u may be able to find a relatively inexpensive one from the nvidia website by doing a simple product search for "quadro"
