You won't be doing any gaming very well on the choices you listed. All 3 are considerably weaker than the 8800GTS you previously had.


Price range?
Resolution played?
Games Played?
Expected smoothness/playability?

For $75, you should be able to get at least a 9600GSO online, that you'll be much happier with. Maybe even shipped.

Do they have a 4670 in stock? and for how much? A 4670 will beat a 9600GSO/8800GS once AA is applied, and is generally more than enough power @ 1280x720-1440x900 even on modern games. A 8800GS/9600GSO(must be 96SP model) would work too; ever so slightly fast than a 4670 w/ no AA, and somewhat slower w/ AA.

edit: BTW either of the above mentioned will rape anything you listed in your OP.

None of those cards can actually play recent games at decent resolutions on medium.

If it were me I would go to Newegg, navigate to the GPU page and filter into the price range you want, etc. Then sort by best rating. After that take the time to read the reviews, they help a ton!

The reviews on NewEgg are hit and miss, people will give something one egg for getting a dead card or something similar that has nothing to do with the performance of the item. Alternatively you'll get uninformed people posting on there that will say something is 5 egg awesome because they upgraded from the stone age. Always take NewEgg reviews with the proverbial grain of salt and always seek information from other sites while researching.

If you want to see bad, go read the PSU reviews....

Look up reviews online and then buy what you want. That's what I always do. Asking for advice is dumb.

And here in OCN you always get stupid recommendations too. You may say my budget is $150 and you can get recommended a $250+ card.
