Nvidia's 60$ 9400 GT graphics card!

Is 9400 GT better than 8800 GTS ? (according to cost vs. performance)

Most definitely not. Even a 9600GT isn't as good as a G92 8800GTS.

Ya, my buddy bought 2 9600 GTOC's, and i told him NOT to go with the lower budget 9 series. 8800's would have been allot better. BUT, with a 9 series card you will have DX10.

Lowfat is right the 9600GT is pretty much equivalent to the 8800GT as for the 8800GTS it's a different ballgame.

You might want to forget the 9400GT and pay 40 bucks or so more to advance to the next level.

An 8800GTS is several times faster than a 9400GT. At that price range, your best bet for value for $ in terms of performance is probably the ATI 4650/4670.

The 8xxx series also has DX10.

Or the 9600GSO, which you can overclock very well. You can also buy the XXX version of XFX, which is already clocked decent. It's then often faster than a 9600GT...
