  • Four budget graphics cards in a fight to the finish! (Graphics card options)

    I need to get a new graphics card for a work machine. It doesn't need
    to be able to play games but I'd still like it to have as much power as
    I can place into it without digging to deeply into my pocket. At the
    moment I've found 4 (Or maybe 3?) cards that are the same price and the
    same brand. (I like EVGA.) But, I can't tell which of these cards is
    faster.

    Also the 3rd and 4th card seem to be the same exact card except for
    their part number, I'm not sure if that matters or not.

    And without further ado, here are the contenders:

    1) EVGA GeForce 210 SC SuperClocked (512-P3-1211-LR) nVidia GeForce 210
    Chipset (608Mhz) 512MB DDR2 (810Mhz) DVI-I/HDMI/VGA PCI Express 2.0
    Graphics Card

    2) EVGA GeForce 8400GS 512MB (LP) (512-P3-N725-LR) nVidia GeForce 8400GS
    Chipset (567Mhz) 512MB (533Mhz) DDR2 Dual Display PCI Express Graphics
    Card

    3) EVGA GeForce GF 210 DDR2 512MB (512-P3-1210-LR) nVidia GeForce 210
    Chipset (589Mhz) 512MB (800Mhz) DDR2 DVI-I/HDMI/VGA PCI Express
    Graphics Card

    4) EVGA GeForce GF 210 DDR2 512MB (512-P3-1212-LR) nVidia GeForce 210
    Chipset (589Mhz) 512MB (800Mhz) DDR2 DVI-I/HDMI/VGA PCI Express
    Graphics Card

    Additional Note:
    I'm not sure if OS matters but I'll list it just in case, I'm using
    Windows XP on the computer in question.

    210 is better than 8400. I would go for the first card.

      Thanks for the advice I'll try and get my hands on the EVGA GeForce 210 SC SuperClocked this weekend. :)

        Before purchasing a new graphics card, I suggest you review the information and recommendations at Upgrade Video Card | Laptop | Dual Video Cards | Dual Monitor | Graphics Cards | PC. At the low price end they recommend the HD4550 and then the HD 5450 as better cards in about the same price range.
        There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
