Replacing Dying 8800gtx?

[chaikovski2002]

What card would be a good replacement for my 8800gtx? I game at 1920x1200 with e8500 and 8 gigs of ram.

What games do you play? What's your budget?

If you have $260, an HD 5850 (if you can find one). If you have $160, an HD 5770.

If you just wanna replace it and not invest in a biggie upgrade, HD 5770 is the way to go I suppose^^

if you feel you can hold off for a while longer...


bake it!

What make GTX is it? EVGA, XFX, BFG all offer Lifetime warranties so you may be able to RMA it and they would send you back something as good or better.

If you want a replacement with a nice boost, a gtx260 216 or hd4870 are pretty cheap.

If you're looking to get a larger gain in performance for your money, gtx275 or hd4890, which I'd recommend as the minimum for your res if you are into the latest games.

Didn't know you could do that with the 8800GTX its like magic!!

Look for used 280s/285s or HD 4890s in the FS/FT forum.

I believe someone is selling their XFX HD 4890 for $145 right now.

You could do it to just about any piece of electronics, really.
