gsmanners Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 A good 285 will run you about $400. If you're lucky, you might find one used for about $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsmanners Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 IMHO, PNY cards tend to be a bit on the big side. If you have a lot of cables, it might take some work to get it to fit. Also, make sure your PSU has two 6-pin connectors (the latest ones generally do, but better safe than sorry). Be prepared to buy your own video cables. Definitely not my top pick.

Roughnecks2277 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Ok that was too much money, so after some onlone reviews and such I found out that a nvidia geforce gtx 260 was grat for high quality settings on Fallout 3 because it supported 90 fraps per second or something and that was alot more than the recommened fraps per second or something (lol) which was about 60. And it requires a 680w power supply which I can get easy and for cheap so I will be getting the Nvidia Geforce GTX 260. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Now just make sure you can afford the power bill that goes with a system like that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
