and I need a replacement.
It was a great card but lasted me only a year. Unfortunately the manufacturer went out of business or something (bfg tech) so I can't make use of the lifetime warranty.
I've been looking into replacement cards and it seems the current equivalent is actually worse than the 9800gt. I remember paying about 70$ for the card at the time and I hope to pay around the same amount while getting an upgrade.
Specs can be found here. It's a pretty old machine, everything's still stock except the os (win7 64bit) and graphics card which of course died. My monitor's 19" 1600x900 if that's a factor. I was looking at some 5770's but not sure if the 400w psu can handle those.
I was actually going to buy this (40$ after rebate + free STALKER game
) but it sold out right when I was checking out so I figured I'd get a second opinion. Basically just want the best bang for buck, upgrading anything else is not preferred.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
