8800GS for $45

Is it worth buying? Just the card, no warranty at all or anything, but I need a good card for my PC and I'm broke. I'm using a 19' monitor. I have my computer fully built except for a video card.

45? Its a go... :)

yeah I guess, but is the card absolutely awful, because I don't hear a lot of good things about GS cards. I know it's only $45 but still...

Its better than the old 8800gtx 320mb.


I am still suprised of what the 8600GT performs, so I think you will be happy with it

it is not better than an 8800gtx.


8800gs is allright... as long as its not xfx.


if its xfx...well... I cant tell you too much about it seeing as how they change the specs on it every fucking time I see it.

I think green ment 8800gts 320 mb, buy that 8800gs if you cant find anything else in your price range.

Yep ,meant gts

that sounds good for under $50, i'm sure you'll be happy with it's performance. just don't expect to be blown away..

i thinks its renamed 9600GSO now

Other way around I guess...

9600GSO is a renamed 8800gs

no.


EVGA renamed their 8800gs to a 9600gso.


xfx is still the 8800gs.

I'll sell you another 8800gs if you can SLI :P


It's XFX though...

the evga and the xfx wont work together :[


well, unless you get the evga one when it was branded 8800gs.

i have the card. its a sick card, n for that price, idk wat else can beat it for that much money.

yea


be warned though if its xfx you will not be able to turn down the fan speed


shit is loud

yahh, xfx one is shit. the EVGA one is the actually i think the quiestest video card with a fan on the market.

fukkin just get a 9600GT

8800gs will outperform a 9600gt at any resolution above 1024x768.


while the 9600gt has more bandwidth the 8800gs still gets better benchmarks for the time being.

I'm pretty sure that is very true, i benched my EVGA 8800 GS SC Edition Video Card before.

AMD Athlon X2 4200 + @ 2.69GHz

EVGA 8800 GS SC


I Averaged about 32FPS in first Level of Crysis.

In the first level of Warhead i got about 35FPS
