Master-Kyle-Leeson09 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I've looked at the radeion 4870 and 5870, and Geforce 8800 and 9800. They're pricey, but most of the reviews agree they're excellent for running games. I don't trust them though. The radeon 4200 I have sucks at running USE. Is there a website besides Amazon where I can get excellent graphics cards at a decent price? I don't want to pay more than 150 bucks or so, and I don't want to bother with the returning stuff and all. Thanks! Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverandbacon Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Newegg.com is pretty much the cheapest place to find most parts if you're in the US (or Canada too maybe). Though at a ~$150 price point, 8800s and 9800s can't compare with 5870, you could get the much more similar (in terms of performance) GTX 460 (or maybe 465) for that price.

These cards look good: http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-HD4650-Video-100288L/dp/B002MLZPBY/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I1V55WZYL9443D&colid=QXD06XKN2JD4 http://www.amazon.com/Radeon-HD5450-Pcie-Dvi-d-Retail/dp/B003P5YRFQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=IUAFSUENJWNE4&colid=QXD06XKN2JD4 http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-PCI-Express-Video-HD485XZNFC/dp/B003BNRFC4/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I52MHTA25HFS1&colid=QXD06XKN2JD4 Guess I'm just wondering which will do best for running USE. I've never seen the best of Geforce cards, so I don't know about them...though the geforce 250 and 275 both look good. http://www.amazon.com/nVidia-GeForce-GTS250-PCI-Express-ZT-20109-10P/dp/B003BNY6NA/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1300381012&sr=1-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I`d rather go with this for the price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150511 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150467 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130600 and as Liverandbacon said, newegg is much cheaper. Make sure your psu can handle the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Kyle-Leeson09 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks a lot! I'm using an HP 6671. Some dudes on another forum warned me it doesn't have a slot for pci-express cards, but I've marked these two agp cards: http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-4650-Graphics-HD465XZDF2/dp/B001QF99P0/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2FRNXRKFPBVYL&colid=QXD06XKN2JD4 http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-HD4650-Video-100288L/dp/B002MLZPBY/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I1V55WZYL9443D&colid=QXD06XKN2JD4 Both are decently priced and support TFU. One Amazon review said XFX's technical support is lame. I suppose I go directly to ATI if I need techn support or another card as per the warranties? I'm confused. EDIT TFU doesn't say anything about supporting cards in the radeon 5000 series. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
