Both cards are second hand.
1. Powercolor HD 4670 (PCS), 1Gb DDR3. Price - 50$.

2.XFX GeForce GTS 250, 1Gb. Price - 75$.


The prices in real life are not us dollars, but I put them in dollars because it's easier to understand, then putting it in swedish SEK.

What I would like to know, is which one of these cards should I buy?
Which one is the more powerful one??

I'd say the 250 is more than twice as fast as a 4670.

I just picked up a 9800GT for about $80US.


Thanks for the chart. It makes me feel good to know my HD4850's are in the top 3...:rockout:

hows the GTS250 working out? considering the age of the GPU powering that card I still very much respect the performance they provide!

It's amazing. I didn't think it would make a lot of difference between this and my old 9500GT card.

Now all that is left is the mobo so I can get a quad core cpu and a little bit more memory.
