Hey all.
My graphic card is acting up and I don't think it's the drivers. Or it could be, but I've tried to reinstall them, different versions and reformat+reinstall of Windows. Some games still crashes, and with other cards they work fine. And I'm kinda sick of troubleshooting.
So, new card. I've found a company that sells OEM cards for a decent price, and I need opinions on what to get. Crossfire might be a possibility in the future, so AMD cards are prefered but not critical.
Some of the cards:
For €50 there is only the HD4670 1 GB, but that's not an upgrade, more of a sidegrade. Not very interesting.
At the €60 mark there's the 8800GS, 9600GT, GTS 250 512MB with a Dark Knight cooler, I think.
€70: ASUS 9800GT HB (don't know what the HB is for), Vanilla ASUS 9800GT, 4830 and a 4870 actually.
At €80 theres a bunch of GTS 250 cards in different flavors.
What do you think? There's a 3 month guarantee on them, OEM cards only. Good/bad?
Thanks for looking!
EDIT: Good golly, they have an 8800GT 256MB for €40! 256MB is almost to little, as I might get a bigger monitor later on, but for the 1280x1024 I'm at not it's pretty darn good.
