i found a

VGA 512MB PCI-E SAPPHIRE HD 4870 

VGA 512MB PCI-E XFX 9800GTX (is this from nvidia? lol)

 

 

 Both cards are good but the 4870 is a lot better (about 40% faster) than the 9800GTX.

How much each of them cost?

 

 1400 pesos( around 450 dolars) 4870 cheaper than the 3870x2

1800 pesos ( around 600 dolars) 9800gtx

 

forgot: cpu costs 950 pesos, around 300 dolars

motherboard costs 1400 pesos, around 450 dolars

Definately get the 4870, its got great single GPU performance and its definately the best pick out of all those options.

 

Yes.

Bolshak, you write the prices in a confusing way, but as I understand it:

GTX 295: 1000 dollars
3870x2: 800 dollars
4870: 450 dollars
9800GTX: 600 dollars

Wow, hardware cost A LOT in Argentina! But the 4870 has a good price (for being Argentina)- easily the best choice out of those 4 cards.

The CPU Phenom 9850: 300 dollars is a good price for you.

But the motherboard (MSI K9N2 Diamond, nForce 780a SLI, DDR2) costs a lot... 450 dollars. It has a built in nice sound card, but you should try to get a cheaper motherboard if you can.

yeah.. hardware here costs a LOT.. i tried to find a phenom II x4 but they didnt have it.. so it's better to get the 4870, but how will it perform? (it says only 512 mb)

 could you recommend me some other motherboards?



Nintendo is a constant in life. Nintendo is the place where you can always go to have a great time, whether that is alone or together with friends. Nintendo made dozens of all time classics which are more than just amazing games. Nintendo is a gaming company. Nintendo raised our sorry asses better than a parent ever could. Nintendo is a religion. Nintendo is what drove gaming forward and what continues to drive gaming forward. Nintendo saved gaming in the '80s. Nintendo is saving gaming again right now.
