Advice on graphic card.

Prashiyer · 19th Nov 2008, 11:29 AM

Can anybody please help me out. Please advice me on which graphics card to buy for under 150 euros. I mean Pci express card. Someone I know is getting it for me from this place-
Graphic Cards PCI Express from XFX - computeruniverse.net

Please if somebody has some time to check this out advice me which one to go for. I guess 10.1 support and hd support would be gr8 and also it should go with quad as well as dual (in compatibility).

thanks in advance.

Looks like 9800GT is the best card for you.

Yeah, and you don't really need DX10.1 support. Virtually no proper 3D game out there requires DX10.1.

Are there actually any games with DX10.1?

I remember Assassin's Creed disabled a DX10.1 feature in an update and the performance got worse.

Yeah, I think there are some DirectX 10.1 games but practically all of them can revert to DirectX 10.

I would recommend an HD4850 if you cand find a deal. You won't regret it.

ATI seems to have an edge on video card performance atm. HD4830 and HD4850 would be my picks, but if you're sticking with XFX, better go with a 9800GT

IMO the XFX 9800GT is one of the best looking cards with a stock cooler.
