|
 |
Want to get a cheap gfx card but don't know what to get, the current one I'm using is Radeon x1600 (assuming XT but not 100%) and don't really want to go over NZ$150 (200 max).
Was consider 9600GT but was bit much so thought I would ask a second opinion first as not sure if it would be good in the long run (OCing later on).
EDIT: 17" monitor at 1280x1024, just thought it might be relevant.

Already got it on my main rig and was looking for something cheaper around the $100 mark as opposed to $300

Only NZ$179.30, sweet, didn't expect that, is Leadtek or XFX better?

Don't expect to find that card in nz for that price (which I assume you base on the exchange rate) unless newegg starts shipping overseas.

Newegg doesn't ship outside the US so back to square 1. Does the new long cards actually fit in mid/mini tower cases?
EDIT: is the 3650/3470 any good? I don't really care if its ATi or NVIDIA just aslong as its better than the x1600, can OC pretty good in the future and has a low price, thanks in advance

I think the Crossfire, as good as it is, isn't that cheap.
