Graphics card advice

**scoot** · 03-01-10, 01:36 PM

I'm am looking for a new graphics card seeing as how mine are dying and was thinking about getting this card

275 gtx, but a lot of my friends have been telling me to go with a radeon card instead, that they have better quality/price ratio than nvidia cards. The thing is that I don't really know much about radeon cards and I've read that a lot of you have them.

So I was wondering if I could have some advice on a radeon card that is as good if not better than the 275 gtx for the same price or cheaper. I have a 700W psu but don't plan on upgrading it atm and I just want a single card. Thanks.

awesome thanks, and these should be able to run bad company 2 no problem right? My cards are dying on me but the other reason I wanted to upgrade is because I'm getting that game and want to be able to run it well

No problem at all. Imagine what Flight Simulator X on EXTREAM would look like. Or even crisis, those cards will play anything.

cool man, thanks

I would go for the 5770 and save yourself $130. I have the 4890 and it rocks. The price to performance ration btw the two (5770 and 5850) is a lot.
