New graphics card.

[Thor132]

I am upgrading my graphics card, i would like to be able to run games like gta 4, bioshock 2, bc2, mw2, and most games without lag, even if it is on a kinda low graphic setting, but hopefully, not too low. Right now i got, an ATI radeon HD 4200 integarted graphics.

 

 

I have been looking at,

and that does look decent for what i need. If you guys have any suggestions please tell me.

That card will work. might be worth spending a few more bucks and get a Radeon 5770 HD.

[Chaoz`]

you could get the 5770, or just get the 4870 like i have, and you'll be fine for a couple of years, i can play any game i want on high, without lagg, and that card is quite good for that price

 

but the 5770 is good too, maybe just get that as its quite good too

[Thor132]

Okay thanks guys i will take a look at what ya said (=

5870 all the way bud, you won't have to worry about upgrading for ages!

3 GTS 295's in SLI, what now

 

I kid, on topic

 

Get a 5770 or 5750, it will last you a while, 1.5-2 years.

 

Another option is a 4850, it would last a good year to a year and a half.

 

I have a 5750, and it is great. Come summer time, I am getting a second for crossfire, which is an option you have later, provided you have a motherboard that can run a second graphics card.

That's the mistake I made, I half-assed nothing besides my mobo, and now I'm paying the price...

 

What can I say, $180 for the best AMD quad (phenom 965)+mobo+MW2? Who would pass that up?

That is a nice price

 

But you can upgrade your motherboard later, and keep it for another computer maybe

[König]

Yeah thats what I was thinking.

 

Kind of sucks though because unlike ram and gpu, you cant just "pop" the mobo out without destroying the rest of the connections and shit, basically, it'll be a bitch...

Ya, I know what you mean. The most annoying thing is the cpu. I am not good at putting the right amount of thermal paste on, I often put not enough.
