Fine 🙂 I guess I'll just use the editor.

I finally narrowed it down to these three options, so if you were in my shoes, which one would you actually pick...

1. VTX 3D PCI-E ATI Radeon HD5770 1GB

2.Palit PCI-E nVidia GeForce GTS450 SONIC/1GB

3.Gigabyte PCI-E ATI Radeon HD5750 silent, 1GB DDR5,2xDV

Is it actually worth grabbing a card with 256MB of VRAM or should I just stick with GDDR5?

GTS450 would absolutely wreck it before breakfast, even if it lacks a 256-bit bus—which doesn't even matter since the GDDR5 bandwidth completely blows that GDDR3 setup out of the water anyway...

How loud does it actually get? And what do you mean it "wrecks it"...???

Hey everyone.
I was wondering if anyone could point me toward a decent graphics card for under $300, though my main requirement is that it has a 256bit bus and at least 1GB of VRAM.
My old 😢 XFX GeForce 8800 GT just kicked the bucket, and honestly, I was absolutely loving that thing...

I stumbled upon this Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT featuring Silent Cell cooling, so if anyone here actually owns one or knows anything about how it performs, please let me know...

looking at the price for $283

My Rig:
Gigabyte P35-D34 motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Chieftec 550W power supply
1TB Seagate HDD
6GB DDR2
Samsung SM 2032 BW
and R.I.P. to my 8800GT...
