Hi,
My GPU is dead and now i need a new one for my old pc. Am on a limited budget...
Just want to play some games at 1280x1024 with good performance and some AA/AAF..
my pc specs are:
Core 2 Duo e6400 2.13 ghz Stock
2 gb ram 667Mhz
Intel d946gzis, (its crap i know),
500 watts power supply
I was using a 7600GT
I'm saving for buying a new pc but i'll be using this one till next year, so i need to replace only the GPU, my choices are:
Radeon HD 4650 - 50 $ range
Radeon HD 4670 - - 65 $ range
GeForce 9600 GT - - 80 $ range
Radeon HD 4850 512MB - - 100 $ range
Radeon HD 4870 512MB - - 125 $ range
The games i usually play are:
Farcry 2
Unreal Tournament 3 & 2004
PES 2010
Fifa 2010
Grand Prix 4 2009
STALKER series
COD
.........
With my OLD 17" monitor, i usually play at:
1280*1024 @ 60mhtz
1024*768 @ 85 mhtz
btw, which is better of the two?? i was under the assumption tht refresh rates matter a big deal, so i usually choose 1024*768.... but then again, i am a noob in these things...
Keep in mind the power supply, maybe i can get a 600W PSU, and i dont want to bottleneck the gpu cause of the other components.
Kindly suggest me value for money options based on my requirements... any other card besides the ones i mentioned?? oohh, btw, also need to connect one of my card output points to my TV so i can watch movie on the TV sometimes .....
Thanks in advance.
