    Default Best NVIDIA card under $100

    I need to upgrade my wifes 8800GS and I'm not sure what to go with. I don't want to spend any more than $100.

    Let me know what you all think.

    Thanks in advance,
    Fuga

    How much does memory clock matter? If alot then this one is 2x better memory clock but slightly lower on core clock and shader clock.

    You can find GTX460's hitting under $100 recently. That should stomp on the gt430.

    After reading the card more the only thing better is the Stream Processors and Memory Clock. The Core Clock, Shader Clock and Memory are better than the 460.. does that matter? or is it just a really low end 460?

    The stream processors are the most important factor. Sort of like cores on a CPU. 17% faster clock with 250% more cores is way more power.

    Galaxy is a good brand. Evga has B-stock 460 768mb cards for 90$. Don't have the time for a link, but google evga b-stock and its right in there.

    There's a world of difference between the gt430 and the gtx460.
