• New graphics card?
    18 replies, posted
I'm looking for a new graphics card in the $70-$80 range but I can go higher if it's well worth it. Specs: Windows 7 64-Bit AMD Athlon X3 435 2.9GHz 2 GB RAM ATI Radeon HD 4200 (onboard) GA-MA785GM-US2H Motheboard Resolution: 1440 x 900 I was looking at this [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125315[/url] but I'm not sure. So could you guys recommend me some good cards?
I would go 4770 4850 or 5750 which ever one fits your price range.
im content with my 2 4850's. One alone is still pretty good for the price.
2 gigs more ram
Crossfire with onboard graphics? :laugh: I agree with Johanz and get a 4770, 4850, or 5770. If you don't have that much money and you play weaker games get a 4670/5670.
You guys always forget to ask about the PSU. He could have a 300W Apevia for all we know. So @ OP, what PSU do you have?
[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;22291024]Crossfire with onboard graphics? :laugh: [/QUOTE] You can crossfire with on-board graphics, its called hybrid crossfire Although the 4200 will only hybrid with a 3470 or older card as it's designed for lower end systems [editline]12:56AM[/editline] Just had a look around and apparently some claim it can support the HD4350, 4550 and 4650, but any better card will outperform any combination that hybrid crossfire can achieve

585 Watts and I don't really care if it's Radeon or not anymore because I'm probably not gonna do a crossfire with this onboard graphics so Nvidia is fine too.
The Wattage alone isn't very meaningful. What brand and model is it?
[QUOTE=ferrus;22311654]The Wattage alone isn't very meaningful. What brand and model is it?[/QUOTE] Well, it came with my new case and when I opened it up earlier it had X-POWER on it. I plan on mainly playing a mod for Battlefield 2 called Project Reality but Project Reality is way more better graphics wise and requires a pretty good card to run on high which I don't have but I have everything else good like RAM and CPU.
It came with the case? Oh dear :eng99:
[QUOTE=tommyc225;22356749]It came with the case? Oh dear :eng99:[/QUOTE] Isn't bad.
It is
With your resolution and PC specs you should not need anymore than a 5770. edit: sorry, didn't read your budget. [editline]06:12PM[/editline] if you go higher, the 5770 is actually worth it. If you can't spend up to 150, get the 4850, it's what....100 bucks? I had mine for a while and it worked great.

It runs games beautifully for the price (although it was $10 off due to a Newegg deal for me when I got it), and will max out most games that aren't ports.
