Crappers, just partially lost a Video Card last night. PC works, but old Video Card is busted, GTX9800x2. I have a $250~275 budget as I paid $250 for new 9800x2 around 18 months ago. I was wondering whats the best option for that price. Looked at NewEgg and see I could either get a ATI 4890 or GTX 280 for around $250. I could also wait for GTX 275 if it is really better. (Using 3rd GTX285 from main gaming rig atm)...
PC has QX9650, P5E3 Premium, 4gb DDR3 1600, 850w PSU, 2 x 300gb Velocoraptors, 2 x 1tb Seagate, Plextor DVD-RW, Sonar PCI sound card, Xeno Killer Nic.
I just need stable 1600x1200 video for gaming on 27" monitor...
Or I could just scrap this old PC and upgrade to a Asus Z8PE-D12X and 2 X5570 I have sitting at the kitchen table...
