256MB "256-P2-N761-AR" graphics card. Now I just found out that I can get a VisionTek HD3850 card for literally about $5 more. Given my current system and the way that I use it, is there any reason for me to return the 8600GTS and buy the HD3850? Will the 3850...

if they have the $ to go a bit extra go for it. and did you take the picture in you avatar that is soo random Ok I'm a cheapass. I could upgrade my x1950 pro to a HD3850/8800GT for as much as I paid for the x1950 pro (which was an upgrade from a 9800 pro) which...

a hd3850 *worth the extra 15-20 bucks IMHO. Haven't checked into SLI performance of 256mb 8800gt yet, but I'm guessing it bests crossfire 3850s for a few bucks more. *Also 256mb 8800gt x 2 = $410-420 or u could get the EVGA 8800gt 512mb and then step up to...

regret it. is the hd3850 up there with the 8800gt 512mb? Don't expect to be running any AA with the new 3800 series cards, cause it kills performance. The 8800GT is the lowest a gamer should go with demanding games coming out these days. ...

this card up to 100%, I swear you'll think there's a jet in my room. The best bang for buck would be HD3850. 8800gt are actually going down in price however. Well a little passive aggresive, you are powering your compoter with that 430 watt, but it has a...

CPU is actually exactly minimum spec for dirt, way below recommended. For Dirt and future racing sims, you may want to do a new system. Shame when a P4 3.0GHz is still very good for other race sims. A nice dual core rig with an HD3850 8800GT is not cheap,...

Your help is greatly appreciated. :hello: I'm going to assume your board supports PCI-E since you have DDR2 RAM. If that's the case, what's your budget? If you can afford $150-200 try the HD3850 or the 8800GT 256MB, both are fantastic cards and fit right...

a standard ATX power supply, if not your screwed. Thirdly, your cpu is so slow (single core) that video card will be severely bottlnecked. I think a HD3850?8800GT would be a better match. If you want to keep the HD4850 then you need an upgrade. Mobo,...

How does 2 8500s (512mb in sli stack up against an 8800gt or an hd3850. I am looking at either buying another 8500 to put in sli or splurging and getting an 8800gt or an hd3850, will the latter really make that much more of a difference at 1280x768?. I am looking...

8800gt 256mb or hd3850 512mb for 1280x768 26 inch monitor?. I have a 26 inch monitor with 1280x768 res, i want to play games like cod4 and bioshock maxed, i have 4gb ocz ddr2 800 a 3.2 6400+ and I want to know what would be better to absolutely max these games...
