 Posted: Wed Jan 06, 2010 7:26 pm Post subject: New videocard :) |
 |
|
I was hoping to get a new videocard since my 5770 crapped out on me.
but now i have a new budget: $0-$180(TAX AND SHIPPING included) you can go over up to $200.
I hope to play new coming games but not at the shittiest resolution and not high end like 1080. i usually find myself playing at 1024 by 768.
at that level i hope to max( or get decent settings)
I hope to play games like borderlands, modern warfare 2 and new upcoming games ( bioshock 2)
I can get these from Canadacomputers.com,Tigerdirect.CA,Newegg.ca ( including shipping costs)

already have a full refund the reason i want a lower card is that this card was a present.
I need some extra money like $10 because right now in my wallet i have like nothing xD. ( not including the money i have right now)

You ask, you get.

Sorry it's $10 more than what you wanted to pay for, but it is definitely worth the money. It's $20 less in the US.

5770. I swear theirs not a 5770 PCI. That would be creppy.
I'm thinking about a 4850. ( Sapphire not so much. They crapped out on me too much. I feel as if their cards are low quality.)

My 5770 died and i was pretty pissed because i had like drivers issues before i refunded it.
I don't know should go for Sapphire ONE MORE TIME? Because its newegg i wouldn't bother going for a DOA or RMA because i need to ship it back to them >.<
I perfer Tigerdirect.ca and Canadacomputers.com because within 30 days i can just go to the store and return it/exchange or refund it.

Btw i never ordered online. If i like pay for everything ( including shipping) I don't need to pay tax right?
thinking about http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150351
EDIT: Newegg.ca is not a option. Newegg.ca uses UPS. ( one of the worst company's ever)
For my package ( anything i order) i have fees.
http://www.ups.com/content/ca/en/shipping/cost/zones/customs_clearance.html#Bond+Fees
Unless anyone can confirm i don't nee to pay UPS fees then im not really going to neweggs just yet >.<

I recommend finding the card you want on shopbot.ca and price match it @ ncix.com
It's what I do since I'm in canada.
As for the brand of the card, I would recommend XFX, since you're looking at ATI cards. If you were looking for an nvidia one, I would strongly suggest eVGA since I've had a great experience with their customer service, but I've also heard good things about XFX including their double lifetime warranty.

I am using that exact card and only problem is after 5 months of use, take out the card and remove the dust on the back of the heat sink.
