Hey guys, haven't been into building computers for a while since I built mine about 3 or 4 years ago and my dad was looking to upgrade his graphics card on his HP. He is upgrading from the one that came with the computer so anything is better. Looking in the price range of $100-200. He loves playing CS:Source so anything that will make that glide nice would be perfect for him as that's the most intensive graphics program he uses or deals with ever. Anyways let me know what some good cards are now... ATi or nVidia? Who's been putting out better cards lately? Last cards I knew of were the 9800 from ati and the 6800 from geforce... thx for any help guys!

BTW we are looking for a PCI-E card
 
The Radeon HD 3850. Its pretty good for any gaming. Cs:Source will run Without anyproblems

9xxx series are Old. After that were the xxxX series then 1xxx then 2xxx and now 3xxx

In that price range stick with ATI 3850.
 
yep. If you need better theres also the nVidia 8800 Series but they cost more. But For playing Cs you dont even need the extra power anyway.

Go with the 3850 256Meg or if you use High resolution go with 512Meg
