Which graphics card?

[robertwj]

I have a Nvidia 9500GT graphics card
Spec: http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9500gt_us.html

I was thinking of a MSI N210
Spec: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N210-MD1G-D3.html#?div=Specification

Would this be an advisable upgrade? will i notice a big difference? I am on a slight budget

Thanks

I have a nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS in cupboard not sure if thats an upgrade?, you can have it.

Rather keep the 9500gt, the 210 is a piece of crap, it will be worse than the 9500gt.

Get the 440 or 450, they cost between R900 and R1200.

The g210 looks a bit better in terms of performance though?

Take the 8800. Will be an upgrade.

If you have to pay for anything less than a 6670 it's not worth it.

If he is using it for gaming, yes, but for an HTPC, does it really matter?

my main gripe is when people dont say what its for , should make a sticky !!!!

htpc or gaming :
current card :
current psu + amps:
budget / upgrade card of interest:

Yea, there should be a prerequisite for budget, use, and overclocking yes or no.
