Graphic card upgrade

[Metal]

Yes, its that time of year when people want upgrades.

My graphic card is NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT

 

 

Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.080814-1233)

Processor: Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz (2 CPUs)

Memory: 3328MB RAM

 

I want a card that can play games like l4d2 and borderland.

A card that will last around 1-2 more years

Spending more money on a better card is the same as spending less money on a worst card. Nvidia is more reputable as a GPU manufacturer anyways. According to some studies that I saw, Nvidia cards dominate about 63% of the world, while ATI dominates about 28%. The rest goes to Intel, S3, etc.

 

I recommend a GTX 260 or get 2 for SLI (if money is not a problem). As a matter of fact, if you are willing to spend ~500 for 2 GTX 260, maybe get a GTX 295.

 

I would recommend a GTX 285 or 275, but they are hard to find.

He calls me a nvidia fanboy when look at him!

 

Anyways, don't SLI, I understand SLIing 'is the shit' but with engines like source have shit for sli support.

SLI, in some cases, can REDUCE fps, why spend twice as much for something that wont help?

 

Anyway, I do agree that a GTX is nice, if money isn't a major then go for the GTX 275

 

here are some cheaper newer cards that can do the job for borderlands, l4d2, and hell, crysis.

and yes, these cards will be good until about i dunno 2011.

and to anyone who disagrees with that I run a 8800gt 512mb and i run gta4 on high.
