9800 GT vs HD 6670

[John Dwyer]

Hi, I was wondering what would be the best video card to run GTA IV on miedium low. I am currently down to two cards in my price range. Its between these.

EVGA GeForce 9800 GT:

XFX HD 6670:

If there are any other cards in that price range please feel free to let me know.Thanks.

The 9800GT is old tech (at least 5 generation by now) which uses more electricity than current cards of equal performance.

At that price I would say go with the HD 6670. It is my opinion nVidia does not have comparable performance to AMD at that price. That is unless you want older tech, that uses more power than current generation at the same performance levels.

Neither, the 7750 is only $12 more than that 6670 and will offer vastly superior performance. And don't go anywhere near that 9800 GT...
