806294 2009-09-02 10:04:00 Need to get a video card with HDMI output so might as well get something with a bit of extra grunt while I'm at it.

Looking for a value upgrade not trying to make this PC into something its not.Prefer to spend less then $200, Id asume there are now plenty of cards in this price range more powerful then mine as its been awhile since she was fitted.

Current config

AMD 4600 dual core
3GB ram
7900GS video card.

806295 2009-09-02 10:25:00 4850 or 4770 for under $200

Stretch to $230 you can get the 4870

806296 2009-09-02 10:25:00 The Ati 4770 is an excellent card-great for budget PCs.

No HDMI-but most models come with a converter.

806299 2009-09-03 08:48:00 That's generous of you bob. It should be worth around $90. qazwsxokmijn (102)

Frak! I just placed a fixed price offer online for it. It's reserve WAS 90 bucks!
And Metla, when I meant 'have it', I meant to sell it to you.

806301 2009-09-03 09:22:00 Well considering a new 4850 is $167 I reckon a new 4830 should be around $125. Secondhand 4830s should be worth around $90.

Did no one bid on your auction?

Swish, Let me know if no one buys it at the fixed price.

806303 2009-09-03 16:06:00 ok, done this video card thing big time last year. #1: buy only from a supplier you can meet in person...you might save $20 on the internet..not worth the hassle. #2 look to what your power supply will run (that is a biggie! - suppliers will tell you bulls**t). #3 look to your expansion slots, i.e. what do you exactly have available because once you upgrade 1 piece of your system you will find yourself upgrading more. And as fa as ram goes, 3Gb is all vista can address so don't get sold a dummy (like I did) with an offer of extra ram. toonttm (14853)
