What video card costs around 100 bucks that plays most PC games (Oblivion and all)?

bonneau_14 · 11-01-2009, 11:52 PM

I bought a card for $150.00 and it can't play oblivion maxed out.

Better cards have probably had price drops by now.

I bought a 140$ card and it plays oblivion maxed out. It also depends on RAM and processor. I personally suggest nvidia 7900gt (what i use). Though newegg says it's discontinued.. I'll go look around on card tests for an equivalent in power & price.

XFX 4770 for $110

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150323

or the 9800 GT for $96

The 4770 beats the 9800 in performance though

At that pricerange, you should go for an ATI Radeon HD4850.

nice find for the XFX, +rep foe you but isnt the 4850 better

GooLooGooLoo · 11-02-2009, 12:27 AM

the 4850 is much better but usually goes for $120+

keep in mind none of these cards have free shipping + i dont think any of these brands offer ldouble lifetime warranty like the XFX brand.

I would suggest the ATI 4770 or 4850. Both are great cards. The 4770 uses less power though, but it is a bit slower.

It can get as fast as the 4850 if you overclock it from what I heard. That is the card I'm going to be getting in a week or so as I only play at 1280x1024 so I don't need a really fast one. Originally I was going for the 4870.

I 2nd the 4770, it performs like the 4850, but consumes about 30W less.
If you'd spend $60 more, you'd get this:

You'd get basically a 4870, but with DX11 and less power consumption.

Ascend · 11-02-2009, 08:02 PM

didn't know 4870 have DX11.. but oh well go for 4870.. and save your money for now to buy a 4870 or if you are in a hurry then buy 9800GT
