Best graphics cards

Commander31 SG

Just wanna ask, what is the best graphics card available here in SG and where can I find it?

Raraken SG

You mean best Graphics card for gaming? Any budget? No budget, go for a GTX295. Most powerful card yet, faster than ATi's HD4870X2

Commander31 SG

How much is it? And what's the best one less than $500.

more power go nvidia..

want better, more vibrant colours, get an ATi..

Commander31 SG

What do you mean by 'power'. And how much is GTX295?

Raraken SG

GTX295 more than $500 dollars , so Best is like, ATi HD4870 or GTX260 for that price.

ASUS HD4870 1.GB Dark Knight - $459

LeadTek GTX260 896MB DDR3 Extreme+ - $459

MSI R4870 1.GB DDR5 OverClocking - $459

PALIT HD4870 1.0GB Sonic - Less than $ 459

Id suggest the PALIT. Their Sonic line is very good.

Commander31 SG

Thats too high.. what about good cards from $200-$300? And how much is the ATI HD4870 and GeForce 9800M GTX? Btw, is the 9800M GTX best in the GeForce 9 series?

Commander31 SG

Sorry, I meant the ATI HD4850.

Raraken SG

9800M GTX is for notebooks, HD4850 vs 9800GTX, they are roughly on par, so get the cheaper one, but for best gaming, go for nVidia 9800GTX. They have better drivers and many games have NVidia optimizations.

Ok. So how much is the HD4850 and 9800GTX? And in the Geforce 9 series, which is the best model?

9 Series, 9800GX2. 2 9800GT in one card, but hard to find, so 9800GTX+ (remember, need + sign). PALIT HD4850 is $219, PALIT 9800GTX+ is $299, but the PLus edition runs cooler, and slightly faster than the 9800GTX. So, faster than the HD4850. Tell you what, get a PALIT HD4850 512MB SONIC for $269. Factory Overclocked, so faster. Cheaper than 9800GTX+, so yea. Money wise, just get the HD4850.

Still too ex. Think my budget is $250 the most. Any good cards in this range? And also, are there any reasonably-priced and good 4GHz CPU quad-core processors around?

Cybercrashx SG

i recommend u save up for a better one, 250 is those u play game must put low low res, low setting. dam lj lame. just save up for like 700+ one?

Raraken SG

I recommend like that HD4850 lah. If you still want NVidia go get 9600GT. Still ok, plus can SLI. 4850 also can CrossFire.

As for Cybercrashx, I can tell you, my sucky 9500GS can play Crysis at High, 1024x768. I know some way more ex card that struggle at that res. Dont talk shit if you have no idea what you are talking about, k? 4850 is one of the best mid-range cards.

now that card quite affordable... should be less than $300 liao...

Raraken SG

rubbish.

Exactly. He has no idea what he is talking about. I built my own PC at the age of 9, so I know which parts are good, and which aren't.
