i think he is looking on the cheap

 

[Fitseries3]

palit guy, if you can sell me one for like $60 i'll take it. i've got a few cards cornered at $40-50 range. a 7600gt, and a 8500gt. both 256mb cards.

 

[Palit_Guy]

Sorry bud. Newegg has a 1GB for $90 but if you have to stay in the $40-$50 range then you're kind of hung.

This is kind of the most fun thing about system building. Figuring out how to build the best system for $XX without going over.

Hmmmm. I wonder if we could build a game show like that?

maybe the palit+tpu discount will be that good

ive always wanted to see a grfx card with a white pcb
it could have a shinny gold heatsink and be called the BALLA edition

 

[Fitseries3]

i want a ATI card with a black PCB. and not that brownish black crap either. XFX black.

early review of the palit 8800GS series in case any of y'all is intersted.

 

[jbunch07]

imo nvidia has put out enough 8 series cards, its time for new gen!

Nope. Not if OCing isn't a priority. Both AMD and Intel are in the same league at the bottom end now too.

true... and mostly the same companies make the boards... gigabyte, asus, etc.. features are a little different though, although most are the same.. a nice thing about amd is you get your memory controller onchip which delivers the same bandwidth all the time,etc, and only need a board that supports say.. DDR2-800 if you wanna run ddr2-800, and don't have to find a board with 975 chipset or better or 965. higher the chipset, the more exspensive the board, no?

As for a CAD card, I built my ex a system (she does graphic/web design) heavy photoshop, etc, and I used a 7800GT 256MB 256bit, and it serves her purposes well, I actually used 2 cards since I had them laying around after an upgrade, so she has SLI... BUT... even a single 7800GS or GT would be a good card, although more ram would be better, say a 7950GT? or a 7800GS 512?

 

[Fitseries3]

yeah but find it for under $80 though. can you do that?

maybe if you find a used one, like here on the forums, or fleabay? I don't think the 7 series is that much anymore?

about $76 after rebate and shipping.. not a bad card..

 

[Fitseries3]

yeah... i've been looking for 3 weeks now.

 

[Bluefox1115]

shoot for that 7600GS.. not bad for the money, and if you pair it with say, a 22" screen, would be great for his AutoCAD work.. And also, Palit seams to have some nice prices, compaired to other companies, check out their cards?

 

[Fitseries3]

i found a 7600gt and a 8500gt for $40 each. wouldnt that be better than a 7600gs?

 

[Bluefox1115]

BINGO

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814260076

quick solution.

Yeah, 7600GT is better, but if he requires more ram... seeing how Autocad is preatty much a graphical application.. I'd go with a 512MB card..

Undertaker black.

Here are some more reviews on the Palit 9600 GT Sonic... if you are interested.

On the first page of the Tech Report article you can see the sleeve we put around the ASIC (Chip package) to protect the die when mounting coolers. This is helpful for those of you who like changing coolers. However, I think our coolers do a far superior job than stock and many (most) after market coolers.

If it's the same basic design as the one on the 8800GT 1GB Super+, then it definitely holds it's own. Mine tops out at 60C overclocked on 100% fan for bench runs.

Use telephone wire, or cut up an IDE ribbon cable, and peel off single strands.

Palit 9600GT Newegg reviews

Cons: Wish this card would have an s-video connection. The cooler also takes up 2 slots.

Cons: Looks cheaply made. Cables are not of great quality. Not really enough documentation. Still can't get the SPDIF to work. No help!

Cons: I wish it had an S-Video output along with the other great outputs.

Cons: Gets hot but with a couple fans its managable
