What budget card?

HebrewHammer · 28-December-05, 01:50 AM

What card would you guys suggest as a nice budget card?

How about the e-GeForce 6800 GS 256MB DDR3 PCI-E x16 Video Card or e-GeForce 6800 256MB DDR PCI-E x16 Video Card? Thanx!

The 6800GS is the best bang for buck GPU out there for now. It also falls under the category of midrange/enthusiast instead of budget. With a little overclocking the 6800GS kicks the plain 6800 and takes on the 6800GT.

6800GS, there can be no doubt... but like stated, that's a midrange card :-)
No seriously, I can't see how you can go wrong with this card unless you play fps games
at 1600x1200 with everything maxxed...

Would u guys trust this video card --->
PNY Verto GeForce 6800 GS Video Card, PCI Express, 256MB DDR3?

I've never heard of that manufacturer. Thanx!

I'm very familiar with PNY and have been using their products for a long time. I actually have the PNY Verto 6600GT AGP and it works great for me.

You can get it much cheaper at Newegg.com: Link

Gigabyte and Evga are fine companies to get this card from.

PNY Verto is a very reputable brand. PNY is renowned for great PC memory, and they have had a decent market share for several years. I don't think you would be disappointed with that card. Happy Chanukkah btw.

There are also BFG and eVGA, they make good vid cards as well...

Basically, it's the no-names that you need to be wary of.

One thing that helped me pick my cards at NE was the listed speeds, ie: core and mem speeds. I can't remember the specific models, but one was like $50 more than the other, and the cheaper one had better speeds overall (both were from well-known manufacturers)

Thanx. I know that BFG and eVGA and companies like that r good but the reason im asking is b/c none of the stores around me sell those and I can't order off the internet. Thanx again!
