[PROBLEM] Need help for Graphics Card
I was recently thinking of graphics cards, and I was thinking of upgrading. Do you guys have any suggestions as to a good, but not too expensive, graphics cards? If you know of any good places to purchase a good graphics card online, preferably a NVidia, could you please post a link? And, I'm not too computer savvy, so I'm not sure where to look to find out what my current card is... Thanks.

Re: Need help for Graphics Card
A good place is Newegg or Tigerdirect in my opinion. What is your budget on your graphics card?

Re: Need help for Graphics Card
Hopefully no more than 100 USD, would probably be my guess. And I searched at Tigerdirect, but I have no idea where to look And now that I think about it, 100 would be maximum... so I'm hoping for around 80 USD.

This one has been doing me well. Except I bought mine for like 20 dollars more.

It's a bit high, but effective. I'd recommend this or that 3870.

Re: Need help for Graphics Card
Well, my current graphics card is a Radeon X600 series. I would just like to run PR on high, or ArmA on medium/high. Which one of those would be best for this, without going completely overboard on things I don't need?

Cheap and a great card, I can run any new game on it with high/max settings. Make sure your cpu is good enough though bf2 needs a good cpu as well. |
