So, I haven't upgraded my PC in a while and I am looking to get a new graphics card primarily.

Right now I have a Geforce 9800 GT 1 GB card PCI Express 16 2.0. I want to get a decent upgrade. I am kind of on a tighter budget then normal because of the holidays, but anything $150 or down I suppose?

I am just not sure what to get, any suggestions? santa

I recently got a GTX 650 which replaced an HD3650 card on this computer. Just an unbelievable (for me) upgrade in performance.

As Hunedog recommends, a newer GTX 750 Ti should be even more fantastic.

A good start for deciding what fits the budget.

Thanks for all the suggestions and recommendations guys. I decided to go with the GTX 750 Ti. Was in my price range, and seems like a very nice suitable upgrade to the 9800GT.

I hate to double post, but just wanted to thank you guys again for the suggestions. I installed the GTX 750 Ti today, and it is a very nice improvement!

Good to hear.

Its always nice to have a forum to post things like this where people truly understand what you are talking about.

Its not the same when your mom asks what you got for Christmas and you tell her that you got a GTX 750 Ti vid card and she replies, "That's nice dear."
