Buying a video card!

[Jtardiou]

Hey guys, I would just like personal recommendations!

I'm looking for an 9800. I'm willing to spend from 190-240 $ kind of deal. I don't know anything about video cards, or computers either lol

Thanks in advance crew

Is that a really good card or something? I'd be willing to spend that extra money if the card was really worth it.

Thanks for feedback.

benchmarks

the 9800pro will be just a few frames behind the 9800XT in the benchies, that should give you an idea of how the 9800pro stacks up against the 6800

A 6800GT would massacre a 9800 Pro.

whats not to understand? look at the benchmarks

The card Nick linked to would pretty easily beat a 9800 Pro in just about any game\benchmark you can find. I would spend the extra money, and in fact I did.

"the 9800pro will be just a few frames behind the 9800XT in the benchies"

frames = AKA Frames Per Second, It's a measurement term used to determine performance and it's also how many pictures are displayed every second on your PC screen.

benchies = Nick's way of saying benchmark but since he's too lazy to type the whole entire word... or something.







P.S. i kid, i kid...

From what I understand, the card posted on the link is obviously superior to this...

http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=14-102-286&depa=0

I think the point you guys are missing is that the card posted is about 50 more dollars. I'm not made of money, and I was wondering if the gap between the card posted in my link, for example, is better than the one posted by nick1985.

I KNOW that the card posted by nick is better and has better scores or whatever.
