    Posted: 14 Dec 2007 at 2:10pm
Can someone tell me what a good video card is to go with if you don't want to drop serious money? I'm going to be buying a thunder pro because i want a computer that is fast. But i'm not a serious gamer. I do every once in a while play a game on my computer. Also do you guys consider the 6850 processor to be better then the 6700 processor. On the thunder pro the 6850 is cheaper so i plan on going with that. Finally plan on spending 24 dollars to upgrade for the 2gb 1066 for max preformance. Also 500mb hard drive. Bottom line i don't want to drop serious money on a video card so what is the best bang for the buck. Buck being defined as not deep into my wallet.

E6850 is better.

The best bang for buck video cards are:

HD3850 256mb - $179
HD3850 512mb - $199
8800GT 256mb - $209
8800GT 512mb - $259

Will do 520 w consair. I going to call on monday and order it. I going to tell them no rush just hook it up rite. I'm also going to see if they will let me send a couple postal money orders to pay. I don't like giving my credit card out over the phone. I don't think that will be a problem. I think the max you can get a postal money order for is a 1000.00 so will have to send a couple...Thanks for your help.

Hey, SkyR, was just curious what kind of system you bought from DigtalStormonline....

I'm just trying to get an idea of what you're running since you seem to have such a great  knowledge about the systems...

SkyR isn't a real person, its a machine DSO built to help moderate the forums.  It does a really good job :)
 
Obviously no real human could have as many answers as SkyR V2.0 has.
