New Video Card

[Dante]

Alright, I want to get a new video card that can run Bad Company 2 decently. The current one i have I can only play on low, and i lag like hell with those settings. I want a video card that's priced from $80-$150. Nothing too expensive, but good enough so that It's not a POS.

 

The current video card i have atm is, XFX Radeon HD 4350 1GB.

 

Any Suggestions?

This one is $149.

It can play anything (I own this one)

Probably should have said that I'd like a card that can support 2 monitors as well

Nvidia 9800 GT if you are looking for a cheapish one, supports multiple displays and plays source games flawlessly.

Ok..

before i make suggestions please inform me on yor Power supply and f yo will need a low profile card..

I got a 650watt power supply. I was planning on getting a bigger power supply here soon as well.

650watts is fine, go for that HD5770, better than the 9800 GT and has Multi monitor support / DX11.

WAIT!

 

If you are considering the 9800GT, might aswell get a 4850, about the same price, and 4850 is better. Also what brand is the power supply?

 

If it is not a quality PSU, it might not provide enough power, despite being advertised as a 650 watt, it might only deliver 400. This is, again, only if it is not a quality power supply.

id recommend maybe upgrading your PSU before you buy the new GPU because if you buy the GPU and you dont have enough power your out of luck in having it buy the PSU, make sure you have enough power then get the GPU but thats just my 2 sense

Yes. I ahree but getting the 5770 Radeon with 2xDVI ports it above his price range. (10-20 bucks more) But it is a great card for the price... AND if you dont need it at this moment, wait a week or two because they might have a rebate on these!!

 

So if you do go with a HD Radeon HD 5770, you will need a PSU with atleast 450Watts.

Here is a list of some 5770 cards
