Yes I only made the ending to catch your attention.

I have a 7600Gt vga card and want to upgrade to a better card. but don't want to spend to much money. maybe not more than R2000.

Any suggestions?

btw it needs to run most of the newest games...


thanks in advance

What are your system specs?
If you running a really old cpu and little ram a new graphics card won't help you much

Thats a great price!

Just need to OC ur CPU to 3ghz+ then u should have no prob running the newest games

gts250 is fine, 4850 is about the same. Either way you can't go wrong.

You could also wait for the HD4770 Due to release in the next 2 to 3 months, it will be less then 2k and comes with GDDR5

 

[Decotey]

Ye, but the 4770 is coming in to replace the 4830 if Im not mistaken. So 4850 should still > 4770. However if all goes well it should be a really cheap option for good performance. They plan on retailing it in USA for under $100 if Im not mistaken, just hope these prices aren't overly inflated here in SA as they always are

 

[cerebus]

Unless you have R7000 to spend on the latest killer gpu round the corner it's usually best to just buy what's available in your price range. In this case 4850 and gts250 are about R2000 and over really great performance.

 

[chickenbeef]

im sure If you oc the 4770 it will beat the 4850

 

[cerebus]

i doubt it. 4770 has a 128 bit bus.
