Pick me a graphics card

[Bush]

I'd like under $50 from this list: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... 18|&Sort=3 I'm eying the 7300, but I'd like some opinions.

go for a more powerful used card. you'll get more power and still spend the same amount.

i really don't see much use to buying the cheapo cards because they're not LOADS better than the integrated cards on mobos.

 

[Bush]

Do you have any suggestions?

 

[snowpenguin]

I think you can get 8800gt cards that cheap.

 

[Bush]

Sweet thanks!

Does your box support PCIe for video or do you need AGP?

If you can do PCIe2, this should work just fine.

It's a better card in your price range, it does HDMI and has twice the video ram as the 7000 series you posted.

 

[Bush]

I wish. I can do AGP or PCI.

 

[machjas]

I'd say you won't do much better than the 7300 in that price range, unless you go used on ebay or something..

 

[Bush]

Ok thanks!

You want AGP; you can do PCI but it's awful in comparison.

This isn't a bad choice.

If I was you I'd just save up like $55-$60 more, get a nice new motherboard with pci-e 2.0, and get an 8800GT.

also depends on cpu, ram, etc... not always as simple as that...
