What's the best Grafx card I can get for about $100-$150?

Topic

P.S. Please post your thoughts and why you choose what you did. I'm looking to purchase, but undecided and don't know what to pick.

HD 4850 1GB - $120 to $150 that would be your best option it is a great card and can handle almost all new games... It'll serve you well

or the GTS 250 - $150 but it is not quite as good

Go for the HD 4850 ; )

If you mean Radeon, ye

you could look at the gtx 260 there are some for $160 ( abit better)

Irecently purchased a pc and obtained a 250 gts with it, i heard it has a slightly better performance overall then the 4850 and slightly less power use.

If nothing else it comes with physX which i dont think the 4850 supports but the card did cost me 30 $ more.

4870 (512) $135

Another thing that a friend told me was that DX11 cards were coming soon, how much are those going to gofor?

512mb, only good for cross fire... it depends on res, for low res the 4850 will not be as effective as the 4870 512mb but the 4850 1gb would beat the 4870 512mb at a higher resolution ; )

4870 512mb is alway stronger then 4850 1GB Because it as higher clock and GDDR5 which is avaible only in high-end Ati gpu : 4870 & 4890 only Incoming 5850 / 5870 would all have GDDR5 as Well : tough it most of peopel say GDDR3 / GDDR5 don't really matter Because the way nvidia do thing with GDDR3 such as with 285GTX is Great

If you up your budget a little bit you can get a ATi Radeon 4890 which will run games great.cs45F

yes the 4890 does, its a great card.

and for highest enthusiast for 5-10fps Extra then Ati Solution there is 3-way 285GTX Vs ; 3-way 4890 1GB VS 4870x2 Crossfire X & 295GTX Quad sli which will all of those solution perform in Extreme high performances as they are the top of power

But for single card & O.C It REveal that 4890 1GB is a Leader Even in Crossfire if you could have O.C both then it Amazing how it could surpass 285GTX by 3-4fps+ while cost less then 285GTX

But I must say A nvidia Fan that as bough a nvidia motherboard and maybe always bough Nvidia product in the past 7 year may think NF750 is a Great motherboard of Excellent Qualityand may think that nvidia will be #1 in all domain of price/performances for all time

if you have 2 pci-e slots you could get a two 4670 and crossfire it

price for one is $65

Evga Gtx 260 core 216 probably the best budget card. You can find them for 150 or less. Check Ebay don't buy retail if you want sub 150.

Why are the gtx285's so much more money than the ATI cards with similar stats? There's like a $200 difference or so. lol That's a pretty steep price differential.TheUberKnight
