| 1263885 | 2012-03-09 01:47:00 | My Leadtek GF 8800 GTS 512mb has failed and I'm in the market for a new card. In todays cards what is this equivalent too. I was quite happy with my 8800gts so don't need anything that fancy. Running my computer on the motherboards VGA graphics at the moment. :) |

| 1263886 | 2012-03-09 01:57:00 | An 8800 GTS is (was?) a pretty good card.. I wouldn't call it "not that fancy" What actually are you doing with the machine? Are you gaming at all? |

| 1263889 | 2012-03-09 02:16:00 | The current-lineup equivalent of the 8800GTS is the GTX570 (~$550). That said, it sounds like you don't really need that much out of it - what are your requirements? If the 880 GTS was handling it fine, I'd look for a GXT450, GTX550 or HD6770. Should be had for as little as ~$200 new. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1263890 | 2012-03-09 02:17:00 | Maybe a HD6750 at around $160 - $200 ish ?? Mine failed this morning as well. Ive gone & just bought a HD6850 ,I couldnt be bothered spending too much time finding the perfect replacement. the old faithfull , recommended best buys www.tomshardware.com Have a looksee here (link below) for very approx new near equivalents.

| 1263891 | 2012-03-09 02:38:00 | Yes I play a few games mainly simulation type. FSX which was a bit jerky even on medium settings, mind you even the best computers have trouble running that. Rail Works 3 Train Simulator 2012 which runs good at medium settings. Cyrsis2 ran pretty good maxed out. Mainly play Railworks 3 though. Play the odd DVD and watch Youtube videos in HD if available. Paid around $560 for the old card 3 and a half years ago. :) |

| 1263892 | 2012-03-09 04:15:00 | What about a GTX550 or 560 1024mb DDR5 about $300. I'm an Nvidia man. :) |

| 1263893 | 2012-03-09 05:13:00 | If you get the 560 at least get the Ti. Sooooo much better :2cents: | icow (15313) | ||
| 1263894 | 2012-03-09 06:38:00 | 560 Ti is where you want to be, $320 plus GST, Spank the daylights out of your old card and killer value for money. | Metla (12) | ||
