Whats a good video card under 100 to play TF2 on (its the only game i play on my PC)?

I'm not sure what you mean by "under 100", but I'll assume it's dollars, if not, then sorry.

The GTS 450 has been known as the best budget gaming graphics card by Nvidia.

However, I will warn you that with a good graphics card, you may need to upgrade your power supply and other components so that you don't bottleneck your computer (where you have 1 good component that can't function as well due to other bad components)

Hope I helped,

A 300w power supply will give you more flexibility. You can look at cards like the 5570, 5670 or 6670. I would recommend a 6570 but the price of that card is too high for the performance you get out of it. The 6570 is not worth more than $60. The 5570 will flat out run circles around the 6450. The 5670 is pretty good and obviously the 6670 is the best in the entire lot. The 6670 is the best choice since it can play a game like Battlefield 3 at low resolutions.

I would have recommend a Nvidia card but Nvidia's budget cards seriously underperform compared to AMD's budget cards. The GT 440 uses more power than a 6670 but it has the same performance as a 6570. The 5670 has an edge over the GT 440.|||Well it really depends on the resolution that you play at. A GT 240 should do the job just fine at most resolutions, even at 1920x1080 it should do pretty good. It may even get 60FPS if you update the drivers from http://nvidia.com/



It also only uses 40W of power, so you shouldn't have to upgrade the power supply.

If you want a guarantee on how much more your power supply can handle, we'll need to know the amperage on the 12v rail of the power supply (usually labeled on the PSU) as well as your full system specs.|||Radeon HD 6670, its real nice and you can get some good deals on Newegg.





Additional Details- This is a good choice because it can still play newer games if you ever decide to start playing those|||I had the Geforce nvidia 9800GT for the longest time. Worked great for TF2 and even some higher end games.



I have the GTX 550ti now, which is only $150.



That's what I had, and I had great performance with it, especially most Valve games.
