I just bought a new Computer

Basic Mobo with GeForce 7060PV/nForce 630a onBoard /w Pci-e
Amd x2 5600+
2Gig DDR2 Ram
160gig Sata-2 Hdd
520 Watt PSU /w 2x PCI-E Power

I need a card that can Play games like Bioshock Crysis Oblivion @ 1024x768 Mid-High
I use Vista
I dont have 300$ To spend on a Vid Card.
 
then look at the ati hd3850 (256mb/512mb) or ati hd3870 (512mb). seeing how u play at that low of resolution also look at the 8800gt 256mb which is better performing than the others.

*nvm the 3870. no need for 512mb. just look at the ati 3850 256mb and 8800gt 256mb
 
Well, what do you have to spend on a graphicscard? Finding one at $299.99 problably won't help you even if it's technically less than $300.

$200? In that case you are probably looking at the Ati HD3850 based cards or pehaps better the nVidia 8800GT@256MB cards (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125085)

$100? Probably end up with a 8600GT card or 7600GS, not sure they would cut it though...

dont spend on a video card less than the 3850 unless its like $50 or something. its worthless if u do IMO
 
If you have less than $100, go for an overclocked 8600GT 256MB (don't get the 512mb)

If you have more ,go with the 3850 or 3870.

10.1 is a bag of shit and it makes no diffrence to anything IMO. Get the 8800gt and dont worry about dx.
 
Works fine apart from it constantly running at 29%.
Can't hear the diffrence if you crank it up to 40% and the increase in cooling is huge.
Budget might not stretch enough.
I'd say see how the card pans out and if needed buy the S1 later for $25
 
wow that card looks Awsome lol.

Im using 667 pc 5200. Its cost 21$ for 1Gig.
