Because my old card died I need a new graphic card. My computer is almost two years old now, and my shiny GF9800GX2 (which was a great $500 card back when I bought it) isn't with us anymore. And at the moment I'm trying to figure out a card that's kind of as good but not close to as expensive.
My system specs:
Intel Quad Core Q9300 2500MHz 6 MB cache processor
Western Digital Raptor HD 150 GB
Corsair Power Supply 750W TX
2*Kingston 2GB DDR2 (so, 4GB RAM)
ASUS P5Q Mainboard S-775 P45 ATX PCI-E Audio GbLAN 2x1394 SATA-II Raid DDR2
As I said, I'd rather not spend another $500 (375 euro) on a graphic card when the rest of the machine probably only have about two years in it (three if I'm lucky/stingy). Any suggestions on suiting cards? I went to a store today and they had the following two cards: MSI N2500 GTS (I suspect that's acually an N250) and an Asus EAH5770*. Any views on those two cards?
*Graphic cards is a jungle, why can't they get a naming convention that makes intuitive sense?
