Exclamation Graphics Card recommendations!!!!
Hey everyone

Im back with more questions!
I want a new graphics card that will blow games out of the water.
The catch is it has to be for $100.

I want a:

Nvidia Geforce 9800GT

or

ATI Radeon 3870

I have heard that they are about the same. Personally, ima nvidia fan but
then again ive only used 1 ati card (ATI Rage card lol) Im open to suggestions but i really want the best graphics card for $100.

P.S.!!!!
I have a Nvidia Geforce 8600GT 1GB card right now.

I think the 9800 beats the 3870 in most benchmarks.

the 9800 gt is basically a 8800 gt which I think is a little faster than the 3870

The 4830 is better than the 3870 and about equal to the 9800gt.

They are statistically different, but to the average person the same during game play (probaly). I have nvidia partly because price was right for 9800gt and partly for driver support. But it seems like its hard to go wrong w/ either card.... G/L

I agree.

I'd get a 9800GT or HD4830, whatever you get the best deal on.
