| 824684 | 2009-10-27 20:00:00 | Not good cards, you are much much better off with a Radeon 4670 if you're looking at that price range, the 4670 is around equivalent to the GTX220 spec wise but is a much better card. www.computerlounge.co.nz media.bestofmicro.com |

| 824685 | 2009-10-27 20:11:00 | A better card at that price range is an Asus EN9600GSO MAGIC/HTDP/512M (requires 6pin though) www.ascent.co.nz |

| 824686 | 2009-10-27 20:16:00 | Wow I just saw how much the 210/220 are, I can't see any reason why you'd ever buy one... kinda expected they'd be $40 for people who get a board without integrated graphics and don't care about how it runs :X | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 824687 | 2009-10-27 20:18:00 | A better card at that price range is an Asus EN9600GSO MAGIC/HTDP/512M (requires 6pin though) www.ascent.co.nz I would still go for the 4670 over the 9600 tbh, few reasons. The cards are basically identical grunt wise. The 9600GT is more powerful, but the 9600gso is pretty much identical (and still at least as powerful as the GTX220). The 4670 doesn't require a 6 pin power connector, an will run fine off any half decent 400w PSU. (uses around 75 watts max). It has HDMI out (well the gigabyte one has), and it also supports DX 10.1 (not a major thing though). All of those things are pluses if you are just after a card for your average PC. The 210/220 are silly cards, not really sure why Nvidia released them TBH unless they are going to cut the price by around 40% - 50% in the near future... :illogical Hell, just looking at some more benchmarks. Even the 4650 kicks the 220's arse, even the OC'd 220 can't reach it. Bad Nvidia, bad! |

The verdict on the 4670 was something along the lines of a good contender in the low end market but is slower than the cheaper 9600GT |

Only a select few 9600s have HDMI out and I don't think they have an onboard audio processor. They are also around $40 - $80 more than a 4670, so you pay for the privilege. |
