I need a good video card for an Optiplex 755 I use at work, I installed Call of Duty 4 and it runs really choppy.

Current Specs:
CPU - Intel E8400 @3.0GHz
Memory - 4GB
Video Card - ATi Radeon HD 2400 Pro
OS - Vista Business x64

I was going to stick my old 7800GTX in it but it needs additional power and the power supply in the Optiplex doesn't have those type of connectors.

What's the cheapest card I can put in it to run Call of Duty 4 @ 1440x900??
 
Is that one of the ssf models? if not a 4830 or maybe a 9600gso should do the trick for you.
 
it's not a slim case, looks like a normal tower.

I'll look into the recommendations, thanks.
 
4670 is a good choice because it doesn't need any additional power and will run CoD4 at that resolution.

4830 does need a power cable and so will pretty much everything in that class. If your power supply is strong enough you could just use an adapter.

I have the same computer I use for a folding box...since its a BTX board,your pretty much limited to a single slot card, as anything else hits the CPU cooler...which is not replaceable since the motherboard holes are not a standard configuration.

Also, on mine, I am using an 8800GT, but I installed a standalone GPU power supply in the spare 5 1/4 bay..
As you know, there is not even any spare power connectors that can be used with an adapter...except for one SATA and if you have 2 HD's, you dont eveen have that...:p
 
Well in the case of absolutely no possible way to add a molex to PCI-e power adapter get a 4670 if there is 4830.
 
I haven't been able to find a SATA power connector to PCIe adapter but even then I don't think the power supply has enough oomph to run something sexy. I'll try the 4670
