Choosing a video card.

Matthew1990 · 07-05-2009, 07:35 PM

Hello, I recently found myself in a "bother" when my 4830 broke down on me(MOSFETS)

I am looking for a card such as 9800GTX+ or 4770 or even GTS 250 but i don't know which will give me best performance in games, 1680 / 1050 resolution.

My setup

E5200 @ 3GHz
4GB OCZ @ 960MHz
250HDD
Vista Ultimate
Asus P5Q SE
and 20' Samsung Syncmaster

and 500w Antec PSU

A 9800GTX+ and a GTS 250 is the same card, bios update. Both are pretty equal to a 4850

Yeah I think I will for with nVidia, better drivers, support and more reliable. But it is tough, ATI 4770 seems to be a great deal!
