| 1326945 | 2013-02-07 05:33:00 | I am looking at upgrading my graphics card and need a suggestion. I have a dell 0j584c motherboard ( www.findlaptopdriver.com ) and a 512MB GeForce 9600 GT (ASUStek Computer Inc). I would preferably like to spend less then $150-$200 Any suggestions would be great. |

| 1326946 | 2013-02-07 05:37:00 | I spend around $1200 per card when I upgrade my graphics. What do you think you will get for $200? You need to double that at least. |

| 1326948 | 2013-02-07 05:52:00 | I have a graphics card worth around $280 now. Runs everything I play on highest at 1080p. You don't need to be spending $1200 on a graphics card to play games. You should be able to get a 7770 or a 560GTX for $200. Check your PSU can handle the graphics card first. If it can't and you can't afford a new PSU I would recommend a 7750 which can be had for around $150. Should run most new games on medium - high at a 720p or lower resolution. | icow (15313) | ||

For gaming it's the most important component. Going with low end cards is pointless. You'd be better off getting second hand - last years high end or the year befores high end. |

Any recommendations where to buy a card in NZ - preferably that accept band deposit |

| 1326954 | 2013-02-07 08:18:00 | I had a look on MightyApe (due to my free shipping) and found the "Asus GT 640 2GB GDDR3 VGA Graphics Card" @$194.99 - is that an average price? | mcclma (17006) | ||
