Perspective takes a look at GPUs Under $70. Here's an excerpt:
Anyone coming into this review looking to see Crysis running at 1600x1200 at
60 FPS will be very disappointed. Not even the GTX 280 can push that in fact...
But what we did see here today was an amazing display of performance for cards
under the $70 price point - performance that just a few short months ago would
have cost you as much as $200.
For our two "battles" in today's review, the winner of the first one is probably
still NVIDIA's GeForce 9500 GT card. The Galaxy 9500 GT we tested was able to
best the Radeon HD 4550 in Crysis and World in Conflict while it fell slightly
behind in the Bioshock testing; a game that AMD has traditionally done very
well. That being said, BOTH of these cards would be good choices for a user
looking for a low cost gaming solution. The choice might come down to your
preferred GPU company or what kind of connectivity options you want for your
system. The integrated HDMI and DisplayPort connections on our reference board
were definitely terrific additions.
The AMD Radeon HD 4350 was also a strong competitor and with its lower price tag
might find its way into your heart if you are looking for multimedia performance
more than gaming performance. S3's Chrome 440 GTX was a disappointment in terms
of gaming - there is really no other way to say it. And at $60 on the
S3graphics.com site store, it's actually competing with the HD 4550 and 9500 GT
- a battle it can't hope to win. From a multimedia stand point the card is more
than capable - it does have the same Blu-ray decode acceleration (or similar at
least) to both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.
