| 1248414 | 2011-12-13 06:07:00 | I am currently looking to buy a graphics card to replace the inbuilt graphics on my motherboard which sucks. I am looking to pay around $150-200. Either ATI or nVidia will do. It will be used for gaming so will need to be reasonably fast. Also will need to either have a D-Sub output or a DVI to D-Sub converter as I have a old CRT screen at the moment. Any suggestions? |

| 1248416 | 2011-12-13 06:15:00 | +1 for the 6870, if you're on a very tight budget go for the 6770 or look online and buy two 4870's second hand (normal $100-ish each). | icow (15313) | ||
| 1248417 | 2011-12-13 06:59:00 | Also as a side note would a Wireless USB adapter or a Wireless PCI-E adapter be faster? | quark (15122) | ||
| 1248418 | 2011-12-13 07:14:00 | Yeah, 6770 or GTX550Ti would be my choices in that price range. As for a wireless adaptor, assuming USB2, you'll likely get much the same performance out of them. PCI-e is probably preferable if you can, though. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1248419 | 2011-12-13 07:32:00 | I'd go pci-e over usb anyday. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1248420 | 2011-12-14 20:11:00 | Ill sell you my EVGA GTX460 for $200 if you like. | Barnabas (4562) | ||

Me three, Ive been going back and forth on the idea for days, I'd love a new video card though I really wanted a 560 Ti. But then that 6870 packs a lot of punch for the price, and runs Bf3 on high detail at 50fps They also have 4GB sticks of ram for $28 Of course, I am broke and unemployed. Lmfao. |

| 1248423 | 2011-12-14 22:12:00 | It'd be a nice upgrade for the 4850 I've got currently :D Was looking at the 6950, but the price difference on this is enough to make it immediately attractive! |
