    4770 is not a bad thought. Newegg appears to have them. Some excellent and intelligent advice in this thread, this is why I keep coming back. Thanks all.

    Sub-$200 card & power requirements

    Thanks for doing the legwork. Did some reading and yes, the 4850 will probably fine for what I want. FYI, for any others looking at this thread here is a good comparison. Also, you were correct in the resolution of the monitor. Last question, should I cave and go for the 4870, will the...

    Sub-$200 card & power requirements

    ^ Any idea what kind of power supply I'd need for that? EDIT: Apologies if there is an easy method of finding this that I'm ignorant to.

    Sub-$200 card & power requirements

    I don't have the unit yet, it should be here in 3-5 business days. The only information I have on the power supply is this: 5188-2859 - Power supply - 350-watt, regulated (Sirah) It will be a 20" widescreen, probably 1920x1200.

    Sub-$200 card & power requirements

    Picked up an HP m9500z the other day to mess around with (has this motherboard). I'd like pick up a graphics card in the $150 range that will play current games at a moderate frame rate (and WoW at a high frame rate, not that this is a difficult task). Two questions: 1. What's the best...

    Dual 9800GT 512's vs. Single Radeon 4870 1024

    Probably bad karma in these parts, but I'm looking at going retail for my next system this time around and either of these setups are available. I'd assume that drivers would not be an issue, but perhaps that assumption is wrong. Any other input is appreciated.

    Dual 9800GT 512's vs. Single Radeon 4870 1024

    I'm having difficulty finding comparable benchmarks on both (though admittedly I haven't been keeping up on my video card lore for the last 6 months or so.) Can anyone provide any insight as to which of these two setups would perform better? The last time I used a SLI setup was about 8...

    6600GT or 9800Pro?

    6600GT or 9800Pro?

    I've been out of the video card game for awhile. Just smoked my old 9600, looking for a replacement in the 150ish range. I've read good things about both the 6600GT and the 9800 Pro. Which is the better bet? I play HL2, Doom 3, America's Army, and WoW. 6600GT...
