***** EDIT *****
after a sudden change from my friend, he couldn't offer Sapphire 4870 1GB, so i'll either have to go for a 4870 with 512MB memory for a good price, or take the Sapphire 1GB for almost $200 USD, which is then a brand new card.
so yeah... can you please help me to find a nice card?
Which card should I go for? I've got these requirements for the card:
- not expensive (below $200 if possible?)
- must have good standard gear (cooling, performance etc.), because i don't want to start changing stuff etc
- either 512MB or 1GB. most preferable would be 1GB...
- must be as quiet as possible
- must have good performance
- NOT an X2 card! i am only going for a single (X1) for now!
- NOT other card than Radeon 4870!
more info:
- i am NOT a hardcore gamer, so i DON'T want max performance or something like that since i won't be playing all the newest games etc.
- i've got a 19" Dell UltraSharp for now, but will upgrade to a 22" or 24" either in summer or autumn
Here's the rest of my computer specs:
- AMD Phenom II X3 720
- Antec Three Hundred
- Asus M3A78-T
- Corsair TX 650W
- OCZ Gold XTC 4096 MB DDR2 PC6400
so... any suggestions on which Radeon 4870 would be perfect for my use??
so far, it seems that HIS, PowerColor and Sapphire are the clear choices. each with 1GB memory. what you all reckon?
