maybe new low end cards outperform old high end

>>52177662

This guy is giving me his 9600gt for $35.

New card options are:

Geforce GT610: $63

Geforce GT520: $50

Which one is the best deal?

Try finding a cheap 5850-5870 i bet you could find them for that price.

>>52177768
9600gt aren't worth more than 10-20 desu senpai

I had the 9800gt version of this when they came out by XFX. It lasted me about 4 or 5 years of very heavy use so you should be good to go.

best range is $90 - 120
you can get something that would outperform the $30 stuff by a factor of 3 - 5

>awesome
oh boy never mind go ahead and buy the 9600gt

XFX is great. Pretty sure the 9X00 series was still under the double lifetime warranty, so if you buy it from the original owner you'll still have a lifetime warranty.

That said, you can pick up the more powerful 8800GT/9800GT for $20-35.No sense in paying the same amount for the 9600.

The one that's not a fucking 9600gt

Jesus man, what year do you think it is?

>>52177768
You can get Quadro FX 3700s off of Ebay for like $20

if he's content with integrated graphics it sounds like he really doesn't give a shit about theoretical performance

Wouldn't a freaking newer Intel HD graphics outperform the 9600GT at this point? I remember that card was kind of shit when it came out. I had an 8800 GTS around then.

It's the CURRENT YEAR.

this, just buy some new pentium with hd graphics

>>52177768
I just threw away a 9600gt someone gave me. Fucker ran at idle at 75 and didn't have a pwm fan so it was 100% all the time. Totally useless.
