if your budget was one dollar, and you wanted a kit kat bar, you could get those stupid little 50 gram calorie saving ones for 99 cents, or you can invest a little more and get a full 150 gram kit kat for $1.50 - you'll be spending 50% more then your budget. (and getting alot more chocolate!)

50% can mean alot, but in reality, sometimes it's still 50 cents. $40 is not that much more money to invest in a video card with a gaming/folding purpose.

haha..man you are one funny guy.

true. but people looking to buy this vs a used 8800gt will scratch their heads and go with the gt :) if it was for anything but low power operation in a small puter or such :)

And sometimes you don't have $40 more to spend, which is why you're looking at 80 dollar video cards in the first place.

case in point, still don't waste your $80 -> either go cheaper/used and don't play games/fold because you most likely wouldn't be anyways, or wait and save up said $40.

The point is that despite the fact that there are better options for the same price, spending more money often is not an option.

oh no I completely understand, and disregarding AMD/better options, I'm saying there's no point in spending the $80 on this particular card. We're on the same paaggeee!

Yeah, I'd weigh the options before plopping down on this card. However, the price is pretty good.

Honestly, I wouldn't buy this card, but I wouldn't buy a 5550 or 5570 either. The fact that the 5550 (which costs $45-48 AR) puts up a commendable fight with this is card is a tad disappointing.........It seems to do good in folding though.
