Hiya all,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Please feel free to move.
Need a little advice. Looking at upgrading my card from a gforce 210. Have a budget of $100. Looking at the EVGA gforce 610. is it worth it? Would i see much of a difference in play for that amount i guess is the question and if not can any make any suggestions on other cards within said budget?
Thanks in advance

I refer to http://videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php for card comparisons. You can get an Nvidia GTX 650 for about the same price, but it has a lower rating.
EDIT: Here is a GTX 650 for $99 w/ $5 shipping, but also a $30 mail in rebate:

2nd EDIT: Here's another GTX 650 but this one has the $75 bonus for NW and a $10 mail in rebate:

Just a quick comment, the radeon cards seem to have a problem with some effects in MC. I've watched one of my guildies have to guide several pugger's thru adjusting their settings so they don't lag out horribly with those cards. It is a bug but who knows when it will be fixed.
Though apparently, it can be ameliorated if you do the ritual familiar to most Radeon owners, that of endlessly swapping Catalyst versions around until you find one which both is stable and offers reasonable performance for the game of choice.. however, that is a lot of faff.
