Title: GFX
Post by: KillaMarci on March 01, 2008, 08:41:43 AM

Since my PC is getting really unstable now , I'm gonna get a new graphic card.. Mine just fucks up like 10 times every day so I need to reset the PC and that's no good.
It's also lagging as fuck and everytime I start a game which needs a bit more than VC & SA it fucks up after like 5mins of playing , so yeah I'm gonna get a new one.
Going to get a 8800GTX , do you have any suggestions? The price limit is 400€

Damn, if you got 400€, i suggest to buy a good GFX card, but also some other components you might need.

Don't need anything else.. I know 400€ isn't that much , maybe I can get more we'll see.

400 € is very limited... For a good graphic card you need more.
The nVidia GeForce 8800 is a good card (but for the prices, i dunno)
The Zotac 8800 GTX OC is nice (455 €)
The XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra is great (1 160 €)

Well GeForce 8800GT's prices are from about 200e to 250e depends of the store.

That's pretty expensive for a 8800GTX. On a swedish site the XFX 8800GTX is 22% off, so it only costs 308.8€

Where did you get those prices? You could get dual ultras for that price, and a GTX for less than 400.

400e is fine, an 8800 GTX should last you a while too.

You're my man firefly. Any suggestions?

The 8800GTX is the best for your budget. The brand doesn't really matter, they're all the same essentially (except BFG, which has watercooling).  The Asus one seems to be the cheapest at around 350€, so I'd get that.

Then, order the XFX 8800GTX from the swedish site for 308.8€
