My video card just went the way of the Dodo bird. So now i'm in the market for a new one. my problem is that I'm not sure which one to get.
I had a Zoltan 9800 gt with 512 mb and it worked just fine, but it's now time to up grade. I don't want to spend too much money,and I still want to stay in the Nvidia family.
Does anybody have any good reviews (or bad) for a next generation card?
(I was in the middle of a great trade run, too...)
"too much money" is an unpredictable variable. Give us an estimate of how much you can spend and we'll present you with options.
If you want to stick to nVidia and want a reasonably priced graphic card I'd go for the GTX 460 -- costs around € 140-180 in Germany.
don't know the prizes for hardware in Canada but thats roughly $ 195-250 ...
but I'd suggest you check out ATI as well; very cheap and extremely good ones on the market atm
the performance of the GTS 450 (around 120€ here) compares with that of an old 9800GTX, so its better than the one you had (plus other advantages of being a new gen card, as DX11 support)
GTX 460, as spiky said is a good option as is not much more expensive but gives you an extra in performance. take a look also to the GTX560, as is intended to replace the 460 and you may find it at a similar price
in ati, the 6900 series is giving a great performance, but i guess you could match the specs of your old card with a 5770, that could cost you about 100-110 €
You can pick up a GTX 275 / GTS 250 both with a gig of ddr5 or ddr3 respectively, are about 100 to 160 USD>
A Nvidia GTX 260 does the job!

If you go for the gtx 460, the 700Mb version is as good to Flreelancer as the 1Gb version, and quite a lot cheaper..
