| Vista Home Premium 64bit | Buying a New graphics card So right now Im looking for a new Graphics card and has to be $100 since I just bought a new computer, hopfully I can get a good one that is $200+ in a few months. As of right now I has a built it ATI 3200, quad core and 8 gigs of ram. So Im hoping you guys can help me find one that is just under $100 and can handle a game like Empire Total war pretty good. Thanks you. |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit and Ubuntu 9.10 32bit | Re: Buying a New graphics card ok so you might have two issues with that computer..... first you power supply might not be able to take a 3870...... second...... you might be a little space conflicted... but other than that that is what i'd get,i'd see how much room you have in your case for a new gpu, and if you have about $50 to spend on a new psu (which you will need later down the road anyway) |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Buying a New graphics card Space constrained is an understatement, Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! also only has a 300W power supply. Oh and one of these, Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100245HDMI Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards is better than the 3870 (sorry pizza). |
