Hgaara Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 I feel bad for my friend, and told him I would help him choose a card, he told me he only wants to MAX FFXI, the Half Life series, and only wants to test games like Gears,UTIII,and Call of Duty 4. So out of these two which is a better choice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...82E16814127306R http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130085 he could also go for this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814121095 so which card is the better choice, also I am aware that the MSI one is open box, but he is still going to need to buy a DVI-VGA as that's his monitors cable.

xly15 Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 If he's on a budget then I would tell him to get one of these. SAPPHIRE 100226L Radeon HD 3850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 For games like Gears and UT3 I would go with this. If he likes the games then he will be glad he went for it.

IVIYTH0S Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 he thinks ATi = AMD well he'd be right I think Nvidia=Overpriced (90% of the time) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertz Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 The 9600's/3850's can be found on sale for under 100$, I think that would be the best choice! he thinks ATi = AMD I don't see anything wrong with that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 The 9600's/3850's can be found on sale for under 100$, I think that would be the best choice! I don't see anything wrong with that If he really really must get a Nvidia card...9600GT at $100 I don't think the 8600's are even worth that much.
