i refer to go to Nvidia 9500GT

BrooksyX · Feb 14, 2009

For $120 I would go with an Ati Radeon 4830. Can't beat it for the price.

thanks friends for your quick reply but which manufacturer is best...(sapphire or visiontek)
and also mention the memory ofit(512mb or 1gb)

some of my friends say that Nvidia is better for gaming than Ati is it true :laugh:

Where are you located at, in the US?

The Haunted · Feb 14, 2009

Go with the cheapest one, if they are at the same price look for the one with the best cooler.
IMO Ati and Nvidia are roughly equal, but Ati have very nice offers in the lower price ranges.
