Graphics Cards
I'm looking for a card that is better than an 8600 gts to some significant degree but still under 75 dollars. It also needs to be relatively small to fight in a medium size tower.

Re: Graphics Cards
It has a slightly faster core clock then the 8600 GTS but the GTS is better on the Memory clock. With that said the GT430 will be a decent choice.

The 430 is basically meant for HTPC's (Home Theater PCs). What are you using this for, gaming? In any case, I would definitely recommend holding out for $140+ at least. A 460 or something. |

best one for under 75 dollar, look no further. unless you are trying to render HD videos or work/play on screens larger than 1920x1080, even then it will probably be slightly more expensive. Reason: GDDR5 architecture, 512mb is not too relevant at lower res. 128bit, fermi, hdmi, small, I can't believe this is going for 70 bux actually. |

Anyway, I do plenty of gaming on my GTS 250 with minimal lag on medium to high settings on most games. This is the last GTS 250 Newegg has in stock and it's $80 ($50 after the rebate)... I've never had a Galaxy card before so I'm not sure what their quality standards are, but for the price it might be worth the gamble. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814162069 If that doesn't work for you you can get this for $120, or $90 after rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814500187 Either of those cards would be a huge upgrade from an 8600, but if you want serious gaming performance, you should probably save up a bit more money or consider buying used. Craigslist has some pretty decent buys... http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/sys/2743534404.html |
