Hi forum
I am building a mid range 2009 gaming pc and i have everything except a gpu. I need to pick between these three options.
1. Sapphire Radeon HD5450 1gb
2. Geforce 9800 GTX 1gb
3. Geforce Gt 210 1gb
I really want to know which i should go for. I have all the other parts ready. I want to use this for some old games like Gmod, rct 3, gta 3, portal 2, and both team fortress games. This would be great to bring to a lan party for older games like those, or for my parents to use.
Thanks

I would go for the 9800 GTX, best performer in that list.

I still have an old 9600 GT from 2008 (still works) and it was a good performer at the time for everything I threw at it.

The 9800 GTX is 10-20% more powerful, so it should do okay in games from 2009.

You should be able to overclock it with Afterburner.
