Hi, recently I've been playing AC2, and the screen froze, and after checking my memory and such, I gave my card to a friend who told me that he too gets those weird lines.
I was initially thinking about 9800GT, which performs better than 8800GTS and costs, like $100, which is much less than $330 that I paid for GTS (sad :( )
But then I started looking at ATI's, like HD 4770 and HD 4850...
Any suggestions for a budget around $100? Thanks alot, I really appreciate it.
I would go with a 5770 if you could afford it...it is about twice as fast as a 9800GTX, while running on the same hardware. Otherwise, I would either get a 9800GT and a big cooler for overclocking, or I would just get a 9800GTX.
I think your 500w corsair should be enough to overclock one video card; at least a mid-range card like the 5770. (Assuming you don't have a dozen harddrives on a hardware raid card or something). As far as I'm concerned, the only thing better than a corsair is a more powerful corsair...they make the best consumer grade power supplies AFAIAC.

Hey, yeah thanks. I was actually at a canadian site and that price is through the roof there, and the brand isn't very well known either. I will get the XFX 4850 cause it has the lifetime warranty, and I will prolly try baking my 8800GTS...
