It has the 9800 gtx in now but would like to upgrade the video. One question is - what is the difference between a 650 and a 650Ti? (I know hard one) What would be a good one for this machine? Would like to stay within the $200 range. bj WÃ˜BJH AMATEUR RADIO ID: 1353707 ·

Hi, here is a comparison between GTX cards from nVidia.... http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/graphics_cards_buy_now_uk.html Sorry, prices in GBP. Basically you get what you pay for. More cores usually means more crunching. GTX 650ti not listed, but the 650 showing as worse than the 460 ! The 560 ti has a 448 core version which goes quite well. Reg ID: 1353754 ·

Reg The 460 are very hard to find if you are lucky. Got a 460 on my XP and does quite well as you can see. That is without any thing special except the LUnatic's install. So the more cores is better. Do read about some of the different cards as being a problem. bj WÃ˜BJH AMATEUR RADIO ID: 1353788 ·

My big question is what does the "ti" indicate? The "Ti" just means that it's the top model for that range. Cheers. ID: 1353915 ·
