Hi guys. I was wondering which of the following would work best with my system. I have:
Intel Pentium D CPU 2.66 GHz @ 2.67 GHz
2047 mb of DDR2
ECS NF650iSLIT-A nVIDIA nForce 650i Motherboard
1280x1024 monitor
630 W power supply
Which of these video cards would work best. I'm looking for a price no higher than $110. I'm just wondering your opinions. I think the [url=http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=4209965&sku=P450-9830&srkey=P450-9830]XFX GeForce 9800 GT[/url] looks best for the price. If you know of any better deals on 9600's or 9800's, please post them.
(sorry for the long list)

Intel Pentium D CPU 2.66 GHz @ 2.67 GHz (Nice OC)
ECS NF650iSLIT-A nVIDIA nForce 650i Motherboard
For these parts I would recommend this GPU:

I can OC more, but I was messing with the bios earlier and haven't changed it back.

But yeah, I recommend that GPU big time. Gets like 200 FPS in Crysis on max.
yea, on max lowest settings Lol

This card is god tier, it doesn't even need a fan. Also:
Cons: Needs to be shorter. It's long than a gtx280 by 3 or 4 inches
The one lucky fucker that got his hands on this thing and wrote a review.
BIGGER THAN A GTX280 BY 3 OR 4 INCHES. That's like 1.25 feet.
lol skump is trolling
i would say the 9800gt evga or xfx dosent matter just go for the cheaper one.
i have a 9800gt its a re branded 8800gt the 9600gt is an 9800gt but with fewer shaders etc...
you would get bottle neck from that cpu but yah lol
I have a XFX 9600gt XXX Alpha Dog edition and it plays crysis on very high with 2xaa on 1680x1050, so if you can go with the XFX 9600gt XXX Alpha Dog edition

you have probably resolved this by now but the 9600 GSO is your best bet and you can overclock it slightly, do not expect too much fire though since you didn't cough up the money.

Really dude, all trolling aside, you aren't going to get much lasting performance from anything other than the 9800GTX+ which in itself is already losing ground to the 200 series. If you can scrounge another 30-40 bucks it can be yours and it's worth it.

maybe use the video card money get a cpu, i think u'll be better off
what graphics card are you useing now?
if its a decent card then for get the gpu and get a good dual core
I have a XFX 8600 GT XXX. But like I said, I haven't re overclocked my CPU so I don't think I'd be bottle necking.
I just found an 8800 GTS for $78. It gets 64.0 GB/s correct?

Would this be the best deal out of all of them?
