Need help picking a graphics card
I need suggestions for a graphics card. What can run PR on medium settings? Try to keep it under $150-125 please. Thanks.

Re: Need help picking a graphics card
You can run at all high for around US$125 if you do some price shopping online and find a sale.
As always, please find out the exact make and model of your power supply and the rated wattage, so we don't suggest a card which requires more juice than your PSU can supply. Quote:

Re: Need help picking a graphics card
That PSU is for a smaller PC case,
if that is true, At the moment I'd suggest a Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 or a GeForce GTX 750 Ti with a short PCB, they have a ridiculously low 55W or 60W TDP , and there are some very compact and quiet designs available on the market. The GTX750 is definitely in your price range right now, might take a bit of web searching to find the GeForce GTX 750 Ti in your price range. Finding the GeForce GTX 750 Ti is definitely worth the increase in horsepower. |

Re: Need help picking a graphics card
Which 3.2Ghz processor? With quad yes, dual core will choke with that GPU. You can get more RAM since its not that expensive but you'll do fine with 4 and a 64bit OS.

Re: Need help picking a graphics card
It was a triple-core, but do you have any quad-core cpu's you can suggest to me? And yeah, I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.

Tripple core so I assume its AMD build? Post system specs, especially mainboard model numbers.

Re: Need help picking a graphics card
I would still need your mainboard model to be able to suggest CPU. Its important because of architecture. If its AM2+ mainboard it wont run some of the newer quadcore processors.
