Looking to upgrade my 9800gtx+ 1GB Budget <$175

[alfa147x]

Budget: $175

Any of these cards are good:
http://www.kakewalk.se/compatibility/

NVIDIA GeForce GT 220
NVIDIA GeForce GT 240
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285
NVIDIA GeForce GT 430
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480

Nvidia only

I'm trying to play Dead Island, Deus Ex, and Skyrim.

I have 3x u2412m but it's okay if the card can only run two screens.

I'm open to used but as long has it has some type of transferable warrantee.

Thanks guys!

Rig:

Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
16 GB ram
i7 2600k


This is what I am considering:
EVGA GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked 1GB

That GTX 460 will work just fine.

I'd just get the $115 460 in Hot Deals from NCIX.

Well, a Radeon 6870 is going to be your best bang for that buck for that price range (For new that is). But if you have to have nVidia, a 460 is the most your are going to get for that price. Its a decent amount slower in most benches. But still a good performer, and way faster than your 9800.

thanks for the heads up!

Just ordered it. Does anyone know if it can push 3 monitors?

Nope, it will not. Unless you use a Matrox Tripple Head2Go or something.

Since I only use windows for gaming I can't go ati

Do you have a little wiggle room on the price? The GTX 560 is basically like a moderately overclocked GTX 460 with its stock 810 Mhz and it easily OC's to 950 Mhz on stock voltage (and a run-of-the-mill GTX 460 can't say that). They can be had for about $180-190 now (before any rebates). I really don't know much about ECS, but this one seems well reviewed:

Couple more in your range after rebate:

I think the main problem is he needs to run OS X.

Currently the 560 is not hackintosh friendly so Im looking for a 4xx I bought the 460 for $115

Now I have some extra cash which will either go into a new case or HSF

thanks!
