or is there a better card in Canada that has better specs with same memory as 1GB.. By the people who don't know where Canada is is above the U.S.A. I want something with better specs but the same memory for the same price or company with better specs and more memory for under $80 with tax. I can spend $10 more dollars but that depends on how much inprovements.. I will be buying this card within 12hours unless people have good reason why to wait

 

[ace700]

sorry about my grammar but no one knows what i am talking about or can they get a better card in their country? name your country and price if you think you can get a better card??

 

[Tamz_msc]

For a little more(~100$) price you can get a HD 5670 512 MB.The memory isn't much of an issue if you are on a low resolution display.A 5670 will be much better than a GT220. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102871

I do not want to pay for shipping a video card that is going to cost me more what i can get fore and less specs. It is cheaper just taking a bus to get there to for a better video card.. I want to buy a video card that has better specs or the same memory as mine or ill just keep for either a bit more or cheaper. I do not live in the states. I live in Canada. Stop giving me links to the USA witch has *** or more then 1 video cards on the page that I click on. if you don't have a better card that is a good make with better specs either for $80 CAD or $90 CAD don't say anything. I am sorry that I don't live in the states but in reality I don't and the states money is worth more then Canada money. That is reality not bull ***

 

[ace700]

[ace700]

and dont give me a link where i can get a free trail for a game that came out few months ago when i can download it as a demo..

People here are just letting you know which video cards you'll want to look into.. then it's up to you to look around Canadian websites, local shops, whatever to find these cards @ the price you're looking for. People here give tech advice, not Canadian discount shopper advice.

I was going to say the same thing... stop telling these guys what to do and accept their help... they're informing you of the best cards for the money, and it's up to you to figure out where to get it if you don't want to pay for shipping.

 

[ace700]

Sorry about that had a bit too many beers last night

 

[Martin 71]

it's k... lol I've done the same thing, except to a moderator... truthfully, I'd go with an ati card. like a 5xxx series something. maybe a 5670. they should have one in your area.

 

[rocky41]

If you want to go with an hd 4670 that's a really good card it's available in newegg canada just for 70$...here is the link

lol ncix.com is a canadian site. all prices are canadian

I want a better video card then xfx 7300gt video card because i play alot of games. I would like a video card that is running gddr3 or higher, 550mhz+ core clock speed, 1250 mhz+ memory clock speeds and 625+ MHz GPU. I prefer nvida over radeon any time of the day. I had alot of problems with radeons.

 

[ace700]

why is everyone saying that radeon 5450 is better then gt220? I know they both cards are garbage for running video games. I only got $80 to spend on a video card till i get some money rolling

 

[Martin 71]

get some money rolling then... the gpu is VERY important for gaming and 5450 supports dx11

 

[ace700]

yeah the 5450 supports dx11 but the ddr is only a 2 unless you are willing to spend the extra cash then i would go with either a gt250 or gt 270 but right now the gt220 is better then my 7300gt

 

[Martin 71]

yes it is... it's entirely up to you...

 

[ace700]

true still thinking about it but has almost the same clocks speeds as the gt 240

 

[ace700]

I am thinking about either getting
EVGA 512-P3-1241-LR GeForce GT 240 Video Card - 512MB DDR5, PCI-Express 2.0, DVI, HDMI, VGA
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5516907&csid=ITD&body=MAIN
or
SAPPHIRE HD 4670 512MB GDDR3
http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?leg=&psn=000101&pid=206

what would be better to run crysis, Comand & Conquer 4, DDO, Diablo 2 and other games

 

[rocky41]

GeForce GT 240 will be better than an hd4670....as the specification itself tell's you the story..

 

[ace700]

yeah the specification tells that the hd4670 is faster then the gefore gt 240 but the gt 240 has newer techonolgy

 

[ace700]

Is it possible to upgrade the dx chip from 10.1 to dx11 on a video card?
