Take a deep breath and don't allow yourself to be so vulnerable. I like a good game as you do but make deliberate decisions that you won't regret later. Look online, make a selection and it will be at your door in 2-3 days I'm sure.


Besides, I can't make a good suggestion without knowing what other hardware you are running, include the OS as well.


ALSO, doesn't your current card have a warranty and where/when did you buy it?

my gts 250,kept on getting the nvdklm error.
i threw it out.

but i really want the 5770.
its perfect for my pc, and Dx11 means ill be keeping it.

For around $250, the 5850 is your best bet. It outperforms the $300 GTX285, and supports DX11, runs cooler, and uses less power.

thanks.

If u can find one that is...

 

[ordos96]

you can find the 5850 on newegg.com, but it will run you $300. If you have plans to get a second then the 5770 isn't a bad choice, with two of them running you a total of $320. But do not waste your time trying to go around to some walmart or best buy to purchase an overpriced card just to play a game a few days sooner. You will be much happier in the end if you wait and order it online to make sure that you get a good card that can handle the games graphics on the best settings.

Go to infonec computers at 132 dundas, right beside the eatons centre. They sell 5850s for $300 i think.

There are no 5850's in stock on newegg:
