Graphics Card Suggestion? - 2MuchHustle - 06-13-2009
I need a new graphics card so i can play newer games,The main ones i want to play are Call Of Duty Modern Warfare(and 2 when it comes out) Gta 4,Left 4 Dead,hummz that are the main ones i can think of right now,i was curious as to what was a good card for under 150$ that can handle these games, i only have a 350W power supply so i think that limits my choices maybe?
this is the one i was looking at:

get an 9800GT or an HD 4830.
Re: Graphics Card Suggestion? - FarePak - 06-13-2009
Whats your budget?
Edit: I would go for GTX 260 / HD 4850 / HD 4870, but you'd probably need a better PSU if you were to pick one of them.

Re: Graphics Card Suggestion? - FarePak - 06-14-2009
Not sure if theres such thing as a GTX 250, but anyway, I would rather the GTX 260 actually ratherthan the GTS 250, apparently its similar to the 9800GT.

The GTS 250 is just a re-branded 9800GTX+.
With the new price drop, a HD 4870 1GB is $150

Good choice, you won't regret it. Just remember to check if you have a PCI-E motherboard first, because I had one that supported AGP 8x only and I had to buy a whole motherboard etc, but even if that's the case, buy a new one, cuz AGP are useless nowadays (afaik). Oh, and be careful with the Power Supply you choose cuz if you choose a weak one the PC won't handle it and you won't be able to play games at all, and I'm talking from personal experience.
