Getting Away With a Cheap Graphics Card 290

Posted by timothy on Thursday September 25, 2008 @11:11PM from the time-value-of-money dept.

theraindog writes "High-end graphics cards get all the glory, but most folks have a difficult time justifying $300 or more for a single PC component.

To find out which one offers the best value proposition, The Tech Report has rounded up eight graphics cards between $70 and $170, comparing their game performance, Blu-ray playback acceleration, noise levels, and power consumption, with interesting results."

'We believe beta has a different meaning when applied to applications on the Web,' says a company spokesman."

Apple can not build a monopoly on MP3 Player market (like MS on OS) because it's too expensive on the rest of the World. This could only happen if you consider the fake iPods around the world, like MS count the pirated Windows OS. About the article, I also got the safari fresh install with the auto-update and didn't like at all.
