Hey everyone! I just got my Tax return and I'm tryig to get ahold of a new graphics card. Right now I am using ATI 9700, but roommate needs it back. I'm basicly looking for something that would give my computer a extra kick, but still stick within a $200 price range. I was checking out Newegg but it seems that everything good nowadays is in PCI express. I'm yet to be ready to upgrade my whole system just yet. I can go between a ATI based card and a Nvidia. I heard great things about the 6800. Let me know what you guys think! -+>Aaron
6800nu/GS would be a good bet for you mate. As would a X800GTO16. I am unsure of the pricing for these as I don't live in the US.
If you could spend a little more I would go for a 6800gt or 7800gs the 7800gs would be my first Choice but the 7800gs might be a little over kill for your pc.
I found a Nvidia 6800 gs and I was wondering what you guys think on this card? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130002 -+>Aaron
get the 6800GS. Best bang for the buck, and it performs VERY VERY close to the 6800GT. about the copper version, it shouldnt matter a bunch, unless you're in a hot location. With the stock cooler, my GT ran at 50C idle, and 60C load.....after i installed the NV5 Silencer, each of them went down by 10C.....
