8400GS vs. HD2400

Bleemv1 · 10th July 2008, 12:32 PM

Hey guys,

just wondering which one performs better? for videos, and gaming.

thanks

Bleemv1 · 10th July 2008, 1:03 PM

just read some reviews,

8400gs better for gaming performance,

HD2400 better image quality for videos.

this correct?

to start with please do not tell me you intend to game on these "cards"

Bleemv1 · 10th July 2008, 4:46 PM

by game I mean games like Warcraft 3, BF2 maybe on low res. lol.

General Ranking...First being the fastest..

1. 2400XT
2. 2400PRO
2. 8400GS

BlackSniper87 · 10th July 2008, 4:52 PM

you should probably buy an 8500 gt instead

Bleemv1 · 10th July 2008, 5:01 PM

nah I don't want to spend much money on this comp. I'll be using my main PC most of the time. Just wanted a cheap upgrade. I'll try to get the cheapest option. Thanks DM for that ranking. I'll look for the 2400PRO, although I saw a review at madshrimps that said the 8400GS was quicker in games?

Up and down really, sometimes its a bit faster than the 2400PRO, sometimes its ain't. This is just based on what reviews i've checked out

I'd probably grab the 8400GS if i was buying one...an 8600GT would be a nice card if you can get one for cheap or even on the forum.

And then you add in the HD3450.. which I think is slightly better again.

hehe it never ends, but it comes down to how much the user wants to spend...but it looks like he's figured out the two cards he wants.

Bleemv1 · 10th July 2008, 8:49 PM

also, it needs to be a half height card. I think only the HD2400 PRO and the 8400GS are.

TRAG!C · 10th July 2008, 9:52 PM

3450 is available as a half height card

Butcher9_9 · 10th July 2008, 10:39 PM

yeah we have some of the half height ones at work ( 3450)

they are cheap as chips , about $40 which is only a few dollars more than a 2400pro

I noticed in ITestates special section they're selling the nvidia GS and 2400PRO cards you're talking about for $15, or apparently it says so. when you click the item link it says around 35 bucks, might have to contact them.

You want to play BF2 on low res etc why dont you just spend like $150-$200 on a 9600gt. I just don't understand
