My six-year-old 8800 GT appears to be on its deathbed after serving me well for quite a few years. I don't do a lot of gaming these days, and the 8800 was sufficient for what I did.
What I'd like in the replacement:
- At least as fast for gaming as the 8800 GT
- As quiet/power efficient as possible
- Price under $100; closer to $50 would be ideal
- As many outputs as possible for future-proofing
I haven't looked at video cards at all for half a decade at least, so I figured it might be easiest just to ask here: what suits me best? A cursory glance at Amazon suggests the GT 610 or GT 630 fall within my price range on the NVIDIA side, but I'd like to verify that these wouldn't be a downgrade from the 8800 GT in any facet. If so, other suggestions are welcome.
