SPARKLE SFPX94GT1024U2 GeForce 9400 GT 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Retail

Am I stupid thinking this might be better than my 8800gts? If not why....thanks

Good resource for comparing GPU specs.

If $40 now could beat a card that was $260 two years ago (and at the end of a very long cycle), I'd be crying.

Tom's video card hierarchy chart puts the Radeon HD 4670 into the same tier as the Geforce 8800GTS 320MB

That's about right. It's kind of hard to compare last generation to this generation. But...

g80 vs g92

As you can see the 8800gts 320 is basically as fast as a 9600gt.

The 9600gt is the direct competitor to the 4670.

xbitlabs 4670

Even anandtech equates the two? Huh

9600GSO can be had for $40 on Newegg = 8800GTS 320 more or less
9800GT for ~$80 > 8800GTS 640 which was $399 2.5 years ago.

OR how about a 4890 for $170 today is more or less as fast at GTX 280 at $649 (or was it $649? $499 weeks later) launch price June 2008?

Buying a card right at launch is usually an expensive proposition.

Digitalduck, if you sell your card for $60, then $140 GTX 260 216 may not be a bad upgrade. Just overclock your cpu and get 2 gigs of ram.
