Re: Looking to buy a new GFX card
Here are some low profile cards that are worth consideration: 9800 GT $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187061 4650 $156 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129144 I would say the 9800 is probably the faster card here, for cheaper. Depending on what CPU/RAM/Etc combination… -
Re: Looking to buy a new GFX card
Id seriously consider getting a case if you plan on getting any of the newer gen graphic cards. They are huge for one. and they also put out a ton of heat. My brothers 4870 burned out in under a year after having been put in a similar case. It is just too crammed to effectively cool and it just builds up, then cools down,… -
Looking to buy a new GFX card
Right now I'm running a Quadro 370, which is pretty mediocre. I'm using it primarily for PS and MAX, though I'm not even sure the card effects 2D performance. I play games pretty rarely, but I want a card that can handle the latest... just doesn't need the strongest. Any suggestion? -
Re: Looking to buy a new GFX card
If you can find a low-profile 260, you've got a point. Until then the 9800 that was posted is the fastest low-profile card you can find(on newegg atleast), which is important if you've read the thread. =) As far as 8 vrs 9, the 8800 GTX and 9800 GTX give you virtually identical performance(the 9800 being a hair faster),… -
Re: Looking to buy a new GFX card
+1 on 260 about 9 series i am not so sure. .i read in forums and reviews 8800GTX was still faster than all 9 series. -
Re: Looking to buy a new GFX card
+1 on the gtx 260, great bang for buck. I'd of gone higher if i had the cash but i can run every single game at top specs, runs max / zbrush / xnormal etc all sweet, no bugs, no problems for me thus far (over a year) -
Re: Looking to buy a new GFX card
Personal recommendation: If 3D work is going to be the majority of your time and you don't want to blow the bank on video cards, go with Nvidia. I'd suggest GTX 260. If you have a huge ass display or money, maybe a 285. If gaming is more your cup of tea then go with a Radeon 5770. Maybe a 5850 if you have a big… -
Re: Looking to buy a new GFX card
I'd expect the small dimensions increasing the value since it's gotta be packed tighter, but judging by the prices there's a considerable quality-loss there, isn't it? High-end gaming is likely not an option with these cards then. Well with such low prices I can pretty much go for the high-end of low-profile cards... it… -
Re: Looking to buy a new GFX card
You're gonna have to find a low-profile videocard, and those are usually a premium just because of the size. Low-pro cards are usually fan-less and make very little heat. I take that back: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&SrchInDesc=Low%20Profile&Page=1 -
Re: Looking to buy a new GFX card
yeah it might be hard to find something to fit in there, and heat could be an issue, but at least your wont be spending that much on a card :P
