I think it's also $29.99 after rebate at Frys as well.

Why a 9400gt when you can get a 9600gso cheaper?

VisionTek Bankrupt, PNY Selling Graphics & Memory Business?

I'd much rather get a 4650 for that money:

Especially a DDR3 equipped one (like the one linked), that really narrows the gap towards being more like a 4670 - a 9400GT might be half as fast. Maybe!

9600GSO requires 6-pin power connector, so that may not be the best option for some people. However, the 9500GT doesn't require a 6-pin power connector and would be a better choice than a 9400GT, especially if the 9500GT was cheaper ($48).

But I suppose they can use a 4pin molex-->6pin PCI-E converter cable, right?

Yup. There's no reason to buy an nvidia card under $100 right now.

Unless you want a card for Linux HTPC that supports VDPAU to get at awesome GPU codec acceration:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU

For that all ATI cards won't work, and as the link above indicates even 9400 Gt's, 9500 Gt's, and 9600 GSO's are a bad choice.

It would be better to go with this for even less.

Yes, but you still have to hope the PSU can handle it. These cards need the connector because they use a lot more power, and cards that don't need it aren't usually a problem for OEM power supplies.

If you build your own system and have a decent power supply then by all means get a more powerful card.

Why not the HD 4670 for $39.99 AR ($20) from Newegg then? Sure, it's 512MB (vs the OP's 1GB), but it's a ton faster and uses less power than the above choices (no 6 pin or 4 pin connectors necessary).

Thread.

lol a lot of ram for such a slow gpu. but late in the game that seems to be what they've always done at a certain point in the product cycle. slow gpu with laughable amounts of cheap memory. basically this thing will eat a chunk out of your 4gb for no good reason

 

[magreen]

That card's not worth more than $15. Then again, I'd pay a good $45 for the sheer pleasure of the shopping experience at BestBuy.

Oh wait, no, no I wouldn't.

 

[Binky]

Not a good deal.

 

[MegaVovaN]

Sorry OP, the card is not worth the money.

 

[ibex333]

This should be $40 max imho...

 

[exar333]

This is a terrible card; you can get a 4770 for about the same priice online, and it is miles better.

Maybe a PNY GeForce 9500 GT 1024MB PCI-Express 2.0 VGA + DVI + HDTV/SDTV Graphics Card VCG951024GXEB for $47.97 at amazon?
