Good $50 Card

[dalton]

So I have a HD2600XT 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 card that I am in the RMA process on with Powercolor and I was thinking of upgrading from that being that cards have come down in price so much. This card is either going to be in my Theater PC or in my main. I have nothing special and I don't do too much gaming, but I'd like something that can play games if I so choose.

So, what is a good $50 card that is better or comparable to this HD2600 or is that really still better than most that I can get for $50? Your thoughts?

The PC is just a 939 Athlon 3200 with 3 gb of ram on Vista 32 bit.

Thanks!

8600GTS should be good. PM me if you need one

keep an eye on the hot deals section, should be some great cards at retarded prices in the next few weeks. Off the top of my head, there is a HD3850 for $50? Check the forum for details...

Yeah, I second keeping your eye on the hot deals section, there's been some wildly good deals lately such as 9600GSO's that had 96 SP's and 192-bit bus/768MB, among others. With Black Friday coming shortly there should be some good stuff coming.

If you can get a few bucks for your 2600 you could step into the 4670 for $50 net

Can you do a rebate?

MIR are a pain, I just did one with EVGA and it went off without a hitch - other than it takes about eight weeks to get your money! Other than a similar deal you'll need to spend around $80 to get anything worthwhile.

<$50 after MIR for the ASUS 8800GS is an xlnt value. re: DircectCanada, I'm not sure if there are similar deals in the U.S. but usually they're there.
