Hi Stratic,

Depending on your price range, and what games you want to play:


ATI 5850 for intensive games.

Nvidia GTX280 for intensive games.

ATI 4850 for medium/intensive games.

Nvidia GTS250 for medium/intensive games.

ATI 4650 for medium games (perfect for only crossfire).

Nvidia 9800GT for medium games (perfect for only crossfire).


I've got the 4650 and get better framerates than friends who have the 9800GTX, when they have the same resolution/detail as me in such games as L4D2 and GTA IV.

Just make sure your PSU is adequate for the card you choose.

Thanks,

GaMoR.

PSU = Power Supply Unit. Which is your computer power supply, you just have to make sure it can sustain the graphics card you chose. Like for example if your PSU is 450w and the graphics card needs 470w to run, it can fry your system.

PSU are quite cheap but go for quality always when buying one. The most iimportant thing get a good cooling system set up you dont want to overheat will all the h ardware inside.

Redvizion

Yes. I've overclocked my 4650 to about the same level as the 4670 you are inquiring about, and it runs L4D 1 and 2 at max settings with 4xAA with 50-60 FPS. That's good and I can even record gameplay while playing and get hardly any FPS drops.

Redvizion

Okay,thanks for everything guys. [:
One more thing,what stores sells these stuff because i can't buy them online.

alin777
