Advice?

Also, the current bid is mine.

EDIT: i'll only ever be running @ 1024x768 resolution.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a Zotac. Looks like a cheap brand that will break quickly.
I would stick to BFG, XFX and EVGA products.

It needs at least 400W power supply. Is your PSU good enough?

I'm doing a build and i will buy a decent psu.

Zotac is a better brand here and they sell lots of graphics cards and they have good feedback.

There arent a lot of XFX, BFG or EVGA cards for sale in Aus.

Zotac are great products...they are like the eVGA of BFG here in Europe. Everywhere you look you will see Zotac products.

I say if you get a good price on it...GET IT!

9600GT is not a high performance card so don't expect much....

I'm not an enthusiast, but i do play some games. This is a meainstream card i know, all i play is CSS, L4D, C&C... generally older games. I probably won't even get any new games until i make a non-budget build.

Yeah CSS works great with just 8500GT so that'll work fine

My X1650 Pro can max CSS with 60+ FPS, 16x AF and 6x AA included.

Zotac, while a newer company, are a quality graphics card manufacturer. I've had a Zotac 8800GT for over a year now. Not a problem with it yet.

The price will go way up in the last 3-4 hours of the auction, always does.

That would be sick!

Good luck!

Well, there's another of the same card from the same seller, and it's already at $40 AUD:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Zotac-GeForc....c0.m14&_trkparms=65:1|66:2|39:1|293:1|294:50

Whatever that one goes for, you can probably expect the one you're bidding on to go for bit more.

That doesn't make sense. It is used - but the seller claims it has a 12 month warranty.
But Zotac cards only come with a 1 year warranty. So unless it was used for a day,
that warranty is close to being expired.

9600GT is a great card. Go for it!

 

[linkin]

i will bid on my one up to around $60.
I just some of my stuff sells on ebay soon.
It would be good if i got for 99c but some one bid so i upped my bid.

If you're going to use it in the PC in your sig, are you sure you have a PCI-Express slot?

Well, I would assume that means the seller's warranty is for a year, but I wouldn't trust that. After 45 days pass, there's no way to get your money back, so the seller may just ignore you.
