what is the absoultely best graphics card for under $400?..... i am aware of the new 8800 gts, but im looking for something a little cheaper
 
I recommend that you go with 8800GTS, because it [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]uses NVIDIA Quantum Effects Technology which allows the GPU to do physics calculations

So, if you buy 8800GTS then there is no need for physics card

If you want a good card for under $400, then get this 7950GT for $254.99

or 7950GT KO superclocked for $289.99 [/FONT]

Both 7950GT are overclocked, but the second one is more overcloked

thnx...well do u think that having two ok cards is better then having one really awesome (like the 8800 gts) card?
 
No, the one higher card is MUCH better than two of those. Two of those cards would be closer to a 7900GS/GT.

i dunno like two 7600 gs or something...would that be better then an 8800 gts or x1950 xtx?

Absolutely not, the 8800GTX out perfroms two x1950XTX's in crossfire.

The 8800GTS would be the best bet if you can spend another $100, because its currently the fastest card (other then the GTX), and is DX10 compatible for the future.
 
thats good...but i heard that the new dx10 compatible cards (8800 gtx/ gts) wont play some older games....is that true?
 
if you're going to spend that much on a card you might as well go the distance as dx10 will be the new standard in a year or so and if you get a dx9 card you're going to be outdated and out of $400 dollars

With MIR it is. :rolleyes: Though I do agree with everyone else though. Either shoot for the GTS or wait for cheaper directx 10 cards come out.

yeah but when someone ask a question like that you gotta assume they only have the amount they asked for upfront, maybe he has exactly 400$ and not a cent more, he wouldn't be able to get that card because the mail in rebates after you buy it

I don't think you will have many problems playing older games

personally I think you're gonna have more trouble playing dx10 games on a dx9 card than playing dx9 games on a dx10 card


and yes radeon(ati) is coming out with thier dx10 card the r600 soon
