Author Topic: New Graphic Card  (Read 3169 times)

Post how much money you have. Community may be able to find something. But still, 8600 from a 6150, that will still be a nice step up.

Anyway, if you find a better graphics card, your also going to have to find a power supply that wont go over
This is all I can afford :(

Ouch stop flaming Colten not everyone can afford higher end cards. I recently upgraded to an 8800GTS 640mb but before that I have a 8500GT and it played everything just fine. I think for the price the 8600 is a fairly decent card and if you dont have enough money for a power supply then it works out great.


I'm actually saving up for a new Graphics card as well :D I'm going for some thing like this http://www.bttech.com.au/evga-8800gt-superclocked-512mb-p-3327.html

I also have a crap power supply so I have to buy a new one after I get this then I can install it.

If you guys could help me out that would be great, I'm capped about $250 AUD, so try using http://www.staticice.com.au/ to help me find some thing, I looking for some thing that could allow me to play games on pretty decent settings.

Yeah im gonna get a new power supply and then a 8800 :D

Yeah! Colten is a cool guy. Buys new cards and doesn't afraid of anything.


Someday I'll get 4850 hopefully.

I'm saving up for a new computer entirely.


Someday I'll get 4870 X2 hopefully.

On an off-topic but still hardware related note:

If you plan to upgrade to a Core i7 computer any time this year, be prepared to get raped up the ass in pricing. Not that new technology is ever cheap, but several RAM manufacturers have already jacked up the prices on their DDR3 RAM in preparation. What the forget.
