| 848535 | 2010-01-13 23:49:00 | i am building a cheaper pc and i was wondering which GPU is better, note they are second hand and are all in great condition also i think most of them have the original box manual etc, the ones i can choose from are : hd 4850 512mb ( this is cheap now but it may get to expensive for me to purchase ) xfx 8600gts 256mb xfx 8800gts 512mb alpha dog edition it is unclear at thins stage if its the triple X edition or the standard alpha dog. hd 4650 512mb asus en8400gs ( its the smaller one low profile ) asus en9400gt ( low profile ) so which is better for gaming and how much would be the max you'd spend on each of them as i have no real idea how much they are worth, thanks :D |

| 848536 | 2010-01-14 00:01:00 | hd 4850 512mb ( this is cheap now but it may get to expensive for me to purchase ) xfx 8800gts 512mb alpha dog edition it is unclear at thins stage if its the triple X edition or the standard alpha dog. Out of those I would pick the 4850, its much better than the 8800gts. I would pay about $125 second hand for it as they are ~170 brand new from playtech |

| 848540 | 2010-01-14 03:09:00 | it is going to be a budget gaming pc The only Cards i would touch is the 4850(pref) and 8800gts, the other cards are rubbish or at least not gaming cards. use pricespy as a good rough guide. pricespy.co.nz |

| 848541 | 2010-01-14 03:22:00 | Yep, 4850 or the 8800GTS as the 512MB version is based on the G92 chip, not the old G80. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 848542 | 2010-01-14 03:35:00 | hd 4850 512mb - out of the lot, this one, they are as cheap as dirt even new now, go take a look xfx 8600gts 256mb - Laughable as well as old xfx 8800gts -ancient history now hd 4650 512mb - Nope, lame. asus en8400gs - this is not even a gaming card. It will cope with Solitaire and not much else. Forget it. asus en9400gt - ditto |
