What card would you choose if you had to buy one of these (and I mean if you could ONLY buy one or the other, no other choices :p)

Nvidia 8500GT 512MB (Has a fan)
Radeon HD 4350 512MB (Has a fan)

Also, which has better 3D preformance?

Thanks :)
 
:( Can I have whats behind door number 3?


The Nvidia no question. The ATI is barely a step up from integrated graphics (not that the 8500 GT is going to win any speed awards).
 
Door number three was closed when I got a HP Slimline :p

I have tried the 8500 GT and it uses too much power, so I was just seeing if anyone would even recommend the 4350.

If there was a door number 3, a ATI 4550 would be behind it :)

Anyone want to pick 3?
 
there has to be some kind of card you can use.I almost bought one of those slim line HP pc's about a year ago and I passed and bought a crappy gateway
 
I know a 8400 GS would work 100%, but I also know that the 4350 uses less power and would still fit... So it really comes out to which card is more powerful (I think the 4350)
 
neither.....will have 3d performance, so it won't matter..... buy the cheapest one.
 
The 8500 GT actually played Crysis at 1024*768 at low-medium quality, and I am not picky about resolutions or anything :)

Do you think either ATI card would do any better at any games?
 
Here is what I would do.... choose door #4.

1. Either leave the side of the case off or cut a hole in it so a regualr size video card will fit.

2. Use a secondary power supply to power the video card.

And if I couldn't do that, I would throw the computer out.... seriously.

Bot of those video cards are gonna suck for gaming.

If you can spend the money... get this card as a door #5 option
