what gpu should I get?

[kyleswitch]

I am using the phenom 2 triple core cpu with a 600watt psu.

I found this 4850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161296

Any ideas or suggestions would be great

Other notes I forgot. I am trying to stay in the $120 area. An HDMI port would be idea because I have a 32" flat screen with and HDMI cable already set up.

In your sig, I can see P4 at 3GHz, which scares me....that CPU will bottleneck any decen GPU, even that 8600GTS.

Firstly, i think he said he's using the Phenom II Triple core, which probably won't bottle neck that at all.

However, i ran into this the other day on Newegg, its a Radeon 4860. I've never seen it before, but, if you want to spend an extra $10 for more power, i'd say go for it.

But, if you really don't need the extra power, get the 4850, its a wonderful card.

I cant find that 4870 you're talking about for that cheap. Have a link? There is one but its sold out.

 

[ScottALot]

What about a 9800GTX+?

or the EVGA equivalent.

I really like this one actually. Unless anyone has anything to say about it. I much prefer Nvidia too, it's what I've been using in my last 3 computers.

I'm wondering why they chose a blue PCB.

 

[StrangleHold]

I would get a GTS 250 before a 9800GTX+. I like PNY but they have the cooler backwards, blows hot air into the case.

The best deal is the 4870 link that Jamin43 gave you.

Only problem is that the 4870 is sold out, Ill do the "let me know" button. But is there any reason the first link you gave me only has 1 review? Besides that I am leaning towards the last link, great brand in my opinion and I like the casing better.

It's not out of stock on TD http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5509358&CatId=3670 as Jamin posted. And EVGA's a great brand, so there isn't any reason I guess except that they were to lazy to post reviews 8 people "+1'ed" him.

Whoever posted the 4860 i believe that's a mobility card.

That 4860 seems better than the gst250. no? And it's pretty cheap

 

[kyleswitch]

actually the 4860 is perfect! 1GB 256bit GDDR5 and an HDMI port. The resolution will be perfect for my 32" tv with the HDMI port
