Hey guys!
I'm decent with computers, but when it comes to videocards I'm at a total loss as to what I should be looking for. I'm trying to buy one for a pretty hardcore gamer, (brother) for christmas. Currently he is running an 8800GT.
He plays lots of FPS games, (Modern Warfare 2 and L4D2 right now) and can run them on medium-high settings currently but wants to get ready for BF Bad Company 2. The rest of his components are decent, (Quad core with 7gb of RAM) so the video card is the weak link. Can you guys suggest a 1gb card that he might have success with for the next run of games?
I'm willing to spend up to $250, but if theres a really good card around $300 I might just give him an IOU and pick it up on boxing day for a bit less.
If anyone can help me make his Christmas I would really appriciate it
