Which video card is better?

[zukster]

Hey which video would you say is better for gaming:
Buy the eVGA e-GeForce 8500GT 512MB PCI-E Video Card and other Computer video & TV tuner cards at circuitcity.com
or
Buy the eVGA e-GeForce 8400GS 256MB PCI-E Video Card and other Computer video & TV tuner cards at circuitcity.com

Please note that i can only spend like 100$ and it HAS to be at circuit city. So that is why i picked those choices, not because its the best choice or deal.

Between those, I'd definately go for the 8500GT because it had something like double the bandwidth of the 8400GS, and a larger bus. Also, it's a bigger card (assuming you're getting the 512 instead of the 256).

8500GT is definitely better.

I second them. Although it's a shame that it only has to be at Circuit City, because for your budget, you can get an 8600GT at newegg.com:
Newegg.com - EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
...for less.

If you need some other choices,
Buy the eVGA e-GeForce 256MB 7300GT Video Card and other Computer video & TV tuner cards at circuitcity.com
7300GT is like at 8500GT lvl.

Buy the Diamond Multimedia 256MB Viper X1650 Pro Video Card and other Computer video & TV tuner cards at circuitcity.com
x1650PRO, not as strong as the 8600GT, but still gets you some where without breaking your wallet.

I have a 8500 GT in my other comp. It's not bad, 1 can run tf2 and cs:s pretty well. And i played the crysis demo on them and i remember it didnt look that bad.

No. Maybe a 7600GT though.

nope thats 8600gt level for the 7600gt, believe me 7300gt = 8500gt (with the 8500gt a little bit better)
