Well im looking for a good video card. I was looking at the 8800gt 512mb but i don't know if its worth it, im looking for a gaming one.
8800GT is pretty much the only viable option for a gaming card at the moment. Other than that, you could get an 8800GTS 512mb, which has even more power, but at slightly less bang/buck.
If you hav ethe money to get it... Get it; its the best you can get. (Minus the 88000 GTX 768 MB) If you can wait a few months, they have their 9000 series coming out, so you might be able to get the 8800's a little cheaper.
Here are some that I think are good if you got money to burn... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814121217 HD 3870...it is cool but not the best .. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814143085 Overclocked GTX 8800 Here is what Xlink showed me and i will show you http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_200...7&chart=318 (comparison of those two cards FYI) Other than that You can go for the 8800Ultra just a bit cheaper than that 8800GTX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814143111 and good performance... Choose for yourself I am getting the 8800GT OC so it is really good -N6
cards worth considering for the money in your price range HD3850 $150 HD 3870 $220 GeForce 8800GT 512mb $250 GeForce 8800GTS 512mb $300-350 the 3870 and the 8800GT are about the same bang/$ as far as performance goes, though then3800s do run cooler and quieter if that's an issue. best bang/$ is undeniably the 3850, worst is the GTS512 but that's normal for the top end to have a premium
Anyone who recommends a GTX for anything below 1600x1200 resolution gaming is barking up the wrong tree.
FIXED besides the 3870X2 beats the GTX and is cheaper(or atleast will be after initial retailer price gouging gets done with)
8800GT is the way to go, and totally worth it. I got this EVGA GeFORCE 8800GT 512MB GDDR3, incredibly good performance. I upgraded from a 7800GT, which was certainly a decent card, but the 8800 positively blows it away, especially on newer shader-intensive games. Stock cooler, even though it is single slot with a small fan, does a decent job, and is VERY quiet on the default 29% speed. So far,so great.
Whatever you do STAY AWAY FROM ATI! ATI is BS and everyone knows it. Although, that sounds a little hypocritical coming from an AMD fan....hmm..... Just really don't like ATI..... sorry...haha
