I'm sure you are sick of these questions. which card is better X vs Y and such. I'm sick too but i need an answer once and for all.
3 years ago i bought the 9600gt OC, and it was a great card, for three years it could run every game released.
from what i used to read on forums and articles, the 9600gt was a mid-range video card a (gt) but still can perform like the (gtx) cards... if you know what i mean.
now it died ... i want something similar, a card that is not a high-end but with ocing can be future proof for lets say 2 years or a little more.
I can buy Radeon HD 7770 for 225$ (these are the prices in Israel (expensive!!))... OR i can wait for a month or so and save more money to buy the Radeon HD 7850 for 350$.
a key point: i have a CRT monitor that can support a maximum of 1280*1024 resolution. dont judge me, but i don't like those led lcd or whatever monitors i bought one once and it sucked, nothing compares to the crisp and responsiveness of a CRT.
so, what do you think.
relevant specs:
Intel core 2 Quad q8300 OC 4.1GHz
8GB ddr2
