Hey guys,
My 9800gt is starting to crash on me and I have turned all my clocking down but still playing crysis it will crash on me.
So im looking at buying a new card. Im on a budget of around $170 dollars. I have no idea about graphics card and dont really care about Nvidia or Ati/AMD I just want something that is considerably better than the card I have now.
So what do you guys think?

Probably a Radeon 6850

Here's the rankings of graphics:

or a GTX 460 1GB.

Ok well they are the same price so they are two good options

 

[PowerTrip]

check your local prices and then refer to the Graphics rankings to see which one you want to buy. I do not know what an AUS dollar is equal to USA money.

 

[Lexbomb]

aus dollar is about 1.50 to your dollar. Both cards are $179 the 6850 is ranked 19th and the 460 is 20th.will they be a great improvement over my 9800gt?

im in adel too

.

i'd say go for the 6850

 

[Lexbomb]

Hey fellow adelaidian, Msy have them for $179 seems a pretty good deal so I might pick one of them up

Ok now whats the difference between a Gigabyte, HIS, Powercooler and MSI 6850. Just different makes?

 

[PowerTrip]

Just different manufacturers. They might put different types of coolers on the GPU, different warranties, sometimes they might Overclock the card at the factory and sell it pre OC'd, and slightly different pricing sometimes.
