Well here I go again with another graphics card thread. I was considering getting one of the new 9800GX2 but I don't really want to spend $400 and up. So I was considering this card. Newegg.com - EVGA 640-P2-N829-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
I need a graphics card that will preform well and not break the bank. So what do you guys think of this one? I would prefer to stick with EVGA but I'm open to all suggestions and I don't want any ATI cards. Not that I have anything against ATI cards.
 
Thats the old 8800GTS, the GT is better. If you want bang for buck here are the cards:

nVidia - 9600GT 512mb
nVidia - 8800GT 512mb
ATi - 3870 512mb (an option if you change your mind about ATI, better than a 9600GT.)

Cheapest there is the 9600GT, around $150 and is about the same if not better than the one youve listed.
 
Yeah I was looking at the 9600GT. That is a good price. I wonder if I could play Crysis on high setting with this one. Right now I can play on medium with the one in my sig.
 
^lol! New cards can play Crysis maxed out yeah, but at under 20fps!

it does support 10.1 but its not that vital in any way :D

actually most of the new cards out can play Crysis maxed, but not with a consistent decent FPS

Newegg.com - Apollo HD3870XTG4-E3R Radeon HD 3870 512MB 256-bit GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail

and thats a better HD3870 if you are really considering them, because of its aftermarket cooling solution, and the price drop


............
 
All cards can play crysis maxxed out......at 800x600 resolution :D

Try setting it to Very High at 1920x1200. I actually heard my cards cry.
