maj0rgamer Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 9600gt is an excellent video card too, if you like nvidia and want a really good card on a budget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Lol I've paid my due's and my share of taxes! 11 years at the same company 30% workforce reduction across the board. GG ya but there's a difference between unemployment and retirement . Though I guess getting laid off should mean the money is rightfully yours for a little longer but don't rely on it for too long. Keep at trying for another job. 9600gt is an excellent video card too, if you like nvidia and want a really good card on a budget. but why not max his budget , otherwise he'd say "Which video card under $80?" haha 4850 FTW, or even 4830 oh yeah what's your screen resolution?
