does your vid card cost more than your CPU?

[theGlove]

just curious, the ATI radeon cards are pretty expensive 🙂

 

[MetalMat]

no

 

[zerocool1]

yes considering I got my cpu for like 50 and I got a 9600xt a little after it came out

 

[Quixfire]

It does now.

1.2 T-bird cost $85 on 11/2001
9600XT cost 92.40, thanks to Hot Deals Forum, on 1/2005. 🙂

Well back when I bought my computer...my vidcard (geforce2 pro) was $132 and my cpu (tbird 1.2) was $124...so yeah, hehe.

 

[laurenlex]

I stole both of mine, so they cost the same.

 

[PricklyPete]

Actually no... when I bought my A64 3200+, the price was $270. When I bought by Radeon 9800PRO, I payed $250.

By the way...definitely wrong forum...this should be in general hardware.

 

[StageLeft]

About the same.

 

[Quasmo]

mine was... thats cause I got it from the retail thing. $200 for AMD 64 3200 and ASUS K8V SE Deluxe, and $420 for ATI x800pro VIVO

No. My most expensive video card is a Quadro FX 1100 , but the CPUs in that box are a pair of Xeon 2.66s, and I'm sure I paid more for those than I did for the video card (keep in mind that this was about a year ago when 2.66GHz Xeons would have been consisdered fairly speedy). The card did cost more than *one* of the CPUs, though.

 

[AdamSnow]

Yes.

P4 2.8c - Processor
nVidia 6600GT - Video.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Barton 2500 ($70) overclocked to 3200

6800GT ($400)

 

[TheAudit]

CPU - $140
Vidcard - $240

 

[KillyKillall]

Easliy..could buy 2-3 CPU's for my Vid card.

 

[Modeps]

If it doesnt, you're probably paying too much for your processor or your video card really sucks.

 

[konakona]

mobile barton : $77 shipped IIRC
refurb matrox p650 : around $100 shipped IIRC so yes, the vid card did cost more for me

 

[Demon-Xanth]

CPU: $182 w/ MB (Athlon 64 2800+ and Abit K8T800 or something like that)
Vidcard: $149 (Matrox G450, bought when I had a 500K6-2)

So maybe 🙂

 

[Staples]

Yes. Last upgrade a few months ago.

CPU: $234

Video card: $460

 

[Freejack2]

Yep, cpu was $150 for a P4 and my vid card was $190 something for a Radeon 9800.

 

[Electric Amish]

Easily.

 

[imported_Snagle]

2500+ Retail for $78
Sapphire 256bit 128MB Radeon 9800PRO $149 open-box

bought them both in June

 

[Ausm]

Affirmative

Ausm

 

[FrustratedUser]

Roughly 2.5 x more.

The same can be said about my CPU, and all of my TFT's, but not my graphics card.

 

[jlee]

Processor was ~$100 (P4 1.6a..2 years ago), video card was $90 (Ti4200 in March-ish of '03?)..
