I am getting a new computer in roughly 5 days, my dad is getting a nice deal from the company because he knows some of the people there. It is the "Acer Aspire - GT7700-UQ9300A Predator". The regular price is 1700$ or so and my dad is getting it for 999$, the only thing I am concerned about is the graphics card doesn't seem that good. What do you guys think?

Ok well I don't know much about video cards, but I thought that the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT is worse then the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT and the 9800 and a decent card.

Of course the 9800 is better...it's a newer card. That doesn't make the 9600 bad, though. It's just older.

You'll be able to play any game out right now with it.

9600GT isn't a bad gpu but its' really off balance from the rest of it. 9600 is plenty to play alot of games just don't expect much eye candy.

9600GT is pretty good but I think the recent ATI Radeon HD4830 sounds insane - the power of a 9800GT for $30 cheaper?

Best bang for your buck imo

Considering how expensive either of those cards are it's almost preference.

You're getting a 9600 GT and 8 gigs of ram.

What the fuck are you thinking?

9600 GT is NOT a good card, it's decent but with the rest of the specs it seems really underpowered.

what does ram have to do with video cards? :o

9600gt is pretty dated, you will be able to play most games but with newer games you usually have to turn a few settings down esp at higher res. i'd go for a 9800. also that processor wont be as good as a high end dual core for intensive games like l4d and stuff.
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.

Nothing.

My point is why buy a shitty completely outdated and useless graphics card, then spend money on 8 gigs of ram.

Pure stupid.

It is exactly like putting rims on a rusted POS van from the 80's.

its ddr2 ram, not that hard to max out.

I'm in desperate need of a new computer and I haven't been keeping track of prices or anything lately. I guess I would need to add a video card to the above set up. (haven't been keeping track of video cards either but I'm looking for a video card that can play all the current games on above-minimum requirements... on a budget)
