Title: graphics card
Post by: Irock on December 08, 2008, 04:28:39 AM
I want a graphics card that is good for gaming. =]

I have a 64 MB integrated graphics pile of rubbish. =x

I'm tired of always setting the display settings to their lowest point. =[

I want 512 MB of video ram and all sorts of neat stuff for playing games real good like. =o

No more than 250 bucks. Less is better. =c

Depends what the rest of the specs of your PC are.

Not point getting a card that your PC can't keep up with.

Also a 4850 is WELL worth the extra $ over a 4670, and will also last alot longer. Saphhires 4850 with the custom cooler (card is blue) is the best imo.

You also believed firefoxmyths.com and spent $6000 on a computer that could be beaten by an intelligently bought $800 pc.

Really, you guys should at least test them out once you get them just to make sure they work.
