sorry another "sugest to me a new video card"

abyss610

i'm looking for something thats as good as my old card, it died on me or something. idk got a new pc installed the old card a few hours later it crashed. ever since then it started crashing as soon as i hit a log in screen of any game.

new pc is an Asus 2.5 intel quad core, 8 gb of ram,Windows7 64bit, just installed a new PSU 750 watt.

the old card i was seeing 120 fps in Aion while flying around or fighting at times dropped to the 90s at most. the old card was a Palit nvidia 8800gt super + 1gb can't seem to find another of the same card for some reason. trying to find something as good and at a decent price just spent all that money on the computer so trying to get a good card not too expensive.

any help would be great thanks in advance.

Explain "Not too expensive", throw out some numbers.

 

These are the two mid ranged bang for buck cards, slightly more powerful than your 8800GT. They're almost identical in performance, you're just pretty much choosing the flavor.

ATI HD 4850 1GB- $125

Yeah, although at that price you could've probably gotten an ATI HD 5770 (which performs the same but has all the 5xxx features), but the 4870 is still a good card and quite a jump up from a 8800GT.

If you ordered that 4870, I'd cancel it and get the 5770 instead, IMO.

I think Nvidia GTS 250 - this one is the best from that you posted my friend has it and every game , as AION or Priston Tale 2 run on high details.  Hope you will love it too.

The HD 4850 laps the GTS250.  The HD4870 is nearly double the performance of the 8800GT.  The GTS250 is at about the same level as the 8800GT.
