You can get better cards then that for less then you think.
XFX GeForce 8400GS 512MB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150249
Answer #4
9250 is DX8. But neither cards will perform well enough at DX9 for it to matter.

Answer #13
Cards must be expensive in Europe as I take it by your nickname . Too bad…I saw a factory refurbished evga 8600gt for the buy it now price of 69.99 plus shipping on ebay.
Answer #14
nah im from california
Answer #15
If you’re from California then you can get a 8800GT for about 245$ and that’s one of the better cards that are out there. Good luck mate ^_^
Answer #16
Go to ebay and do a search for “sealed evga 8600gt”
Not related to this listing in any way but there is the cheapest one for you at $69.99 plus $12.33 shipping.
But if you can spend more the 8800gt 512mb is the way to go. They also have refurbished msi 8600gts cards at newegg.com but you pay for tax.
Answer #17
I would suggest getting a 8600 gt or a ati 2600 pro for games like prostreet, they are not too much for their great performance, just google them.
Answer #18
cool thanks
Answer #19
If you live in the US just goto TigerDirect or NewEgg and search for cards between $50-$100, theres a ton of them that will smoke the 2 listed for the same price or cheaper. Just have a look.
