Looking to upgrade my 1950 Pro. Please Help

Well since u said your not a huge gamer then i suggest the ATI Radeon HD 4670, best bang for your buck there. Can't go wrong with either of the 3

You said you are not a huge gamer but what kind of thing do you like or think you may want to play Anything you know thats coming out soon ?
The 4670 is a good card and will be an improvement over the 1950 pro but is on a 128 bit interface, while this isnt a problem if you are sure you dont want/need to play any of the latest games at max detail, it could be an issue if later you decide you want a bigger monitor and try and run games at higher detail levels.
Just thought i would mention it so you are informed before you decide.

If you can get up to about $130, there are often 4850s for that with a rebate. That card will definitely be a great card in that range.

As i said earlier it really comes down to what you want to play. Crysis and cod 4 would see a benefit from the 4850 using some AA AF etc. But if you only want to play older less demanding games then its going to be overkill.
Here is a good review that will show you the performance of lots of cards for your resolution.

The HD 4670 will definitely outperform his card, since it's only a step below the HD 3870. I would recommend that you keep an eye out for the HD 4850 if you can stretch your budget, if not then the newly released HD 4830 (going for $130 on newegg) seems promising but we're still waiting for some test results, since it was just launched today.

IMO it is foolish to go with one company just for the hell of it. The 9600GT offers the best bang for the buck. For 50+ bucks you can't beat it. Both the 4830 and 4850 are over twice as much.

I have a 4850 and love it but for this guy who does not game much a 9600GT would be a nice upgrade. For less than a 100 bucks he can get a seriously overclocked 9600GT that is faster than some 8800GT's.

FarCry2 benchmarks The 4830 is included.

some people have long memories, i for one will not give my cash to what ever company that overcharges or wont take responsibility when the fcuk up. its just the way i am i dont like being made a fool of
on a side note how much did nvidia charge for the 7800x2

I am going ATI because they have dx10.1 and Nvidia does not. Also ATI properly supports LCD monitor/TV where Nvidia you need lots of tweaking and powerstrip doesn't work with newer Nvidia cards

Ill take that x1950pro off your hands if you are so inclined. Post a thread in the "for sale or deals" section or PM me. With one of those cards, I won't bother with hd4670, ill wait for hd5670 with it's dx11
