Bah, I already bought it before going to work. Oh well.

But still monster upgrades no?

 

Monster, probably not. But not bad for the price, although I have no idea what your financial situation is.

 

I mean going from a 7900GS 256mb to a 9500 GT 1GB vid card is not a monster upgrade?

 

yes, considering the 9000 series is just a rebranded 8000 series

 

But its still a good card no>

 

Thats true for the non 9800's yes.

Cox you couldve gotten much better for your money.

 

Should've went with a 9800 card, but I guess 9500 should do. Still a decent upgrade.

Just don't be fooled by the "9", lol.

 

!@#$!!!!

are you serious?

I don't have that much to spend anyways. It was only like 79 bucks...

Should I keep it? Or should I send it back for a refund and try and get something better? I don't want a "side" upgrade, but I dont have that much to spend in the first place.

 

It's okay if you do the rebates. But like I said before, don't expect monster performance.

 

Well, the upgrade was mainly for WAR anyways.. According to the reviews they run at high graphics with no issues.

I am assuming it is a better improvement than my 7900gs was anyways...

EDIT:

Well, I may be sending it back anyways, after I looked some more and talked with people, the stats on this card aren't that much better than my 7900GS.

Sigh..

 

I have properly lead cox in the right direction now. He is gonna send back the 9500 and get a much better card for him.

Anything below x800 in the GeForce lines is budget or mid-range. 9500 is probably low mid-range. So yeah, it's not a whole lot better than a 7900 I'd expect - an 8800 GTS would probably give you better performance for a fairly similar price.

That said, 9800 GT should be great if you can afford it.

 

yeah, Tommy showed me a 9800GT for 124 bucks. Which IS in my price range. So when their support comes back up on Monday, since the order has not shipped yet, I wil talk to them and see about swapping it out for the 9800GT and pay the difference.
