video games, video card|||used to be 5 yrs ago
not now sorry.
need 9800 pro\xt at least for new games
6600gt in nvidia.|||Radeon 9700's advanced architecture was very efficient and, of course, more powerful compared to its older peers of 2002. Under normal conditions it beat the GeForce4 Ti 4600, the previous top-end card, by 15-20%. However, when anti-aliasing (AA) and/or anisotropic filtering (AF) were enabled it would beat the Ti 4600 by anywhere from 40-100%. At the time, this was quite astonishing, and resulted in the widespread acceptance of AA and AF as critical, truly usable features.|||it is a good video card,i have one a little smaller card and it's working.If you want to play last video games than buy yourself an ati radeon x1600 or something like that.

Whats a really good video card 145$ or less?
Something that will make gaming visuals so much more realistic compared to my ati radeon 4650|||The Radeon 4850 for about $100 has the best bang/buck, and is a huge leap up from your Radeon 4650. For reference, your 4650 has performance equivalent to a GeForce 9500GT.

The 4870 is faster, but requires at least a 500W power supply rated for a minimum of 32 amps on the combined +12V rails. It's unlikely your current computer power supply is that strong, so you'd have to add the price of a new psu. That brings your total closer to $190.
The 4850 runs fine on a 450w power supply with 24 amps on the +12V rails. If you've got a stock HP, Dell or Sony machine with a weak 300W power supply, then upgrading to a 4850 still fits your budget- $100 for the card and $40 for a power supply.

If you've currently got a 400W power supply, the low-energy consumption Radeon 4770 is a great choice that would work without having to replace it.

Nvidia's GTS 250 and GTX 260 have identical performance to the Radeon 4850 and 4870 but are priced about $30 higher, so those budget-busters weren't included in the dicussion.|||The HD4870 1GB can be gotten from Newegg.com for about $140 after mail-in rebates ($130 or less for 512MB). Here's a link to the search for the HD4870 in ascending price order:

It will toast your HD4650. The comparable nVidia cards in this price range don't outperform the HD4870, so ATI is your best option. You can also check out the HD5750, which is DX11 compatible but doesn't perform as well. I would say the 4870 is your best option, although for $170 after mail-in rebates you can also get an HD4890. Hope this helps, good luck!|||4870, you cant go wrong, its 150ish CANADIAN so it should be less for you (I assume your talking 145 USD :P, if I'm wrong my apologies, and you should have stated the currency xD)
I had a 4870 before upgrading to the 5870, and it was a SOLID card, ran crysis at 1680x1050 at max settings with no issues....|||hi.. check this out..

Good Video Card, any suggestion?
I need a video card that can be use for 3d gaming and downloading movies. I have Asus GT220 but I think its not really good, specially in some games. Hanging in playing Need for Speed (Most Wanted).
Any Suggestion?
INTEL E7500
ASUS P5QPL-AM
RAM 2Gx2
SEAGATE RAM 500G
ASUS GT220...?????
DVD ASUS 24x|||You can't get a big card because the other parts will bottle neck it, but you could look at a HD 5770 or a GTX 460. I recommend the GTX 460 it's faster and it runs cool without consuming too much power.|||go to newegg.com
click video cards
sort by > best rating
pick one of the top results that is in your price range. it's that simple.
pay more than $120 to guarantee you wont run choppy. try this one:

What will happen if I have a shitty hdd but a good video card?
gtx 260
ata hard drive|||The HDD doesn't affect things much except when saving or loading... during most gameplay things are stored and accessed in RAM.
Anyway, ATA drives have been the industry standard for years, there's nothing wrong with them.|||Nothing.

What is a good video card for my Dell E1505 Inspiron Notebook?
I want to play the latest games in high quality, but my current card doesn't allow me to do that.|||I've also been looking at new video cards for my computer so i can play some newer games. Basically I only know GeForce. Call of Duty 4 (the newest major title i could find to be used as an example) requires at least 7800 geforce, in order to produce good results. that is if you have 2gb of RAM, and 256-512MB of video card RAM
an 8600 512MB video card is about 100$ and is perfect for your computer (if you have an available PCIe slot)|||Which card do you have in it now? I've got the ATI-based x1400 Radeon Mobility in mine, 128MB that will also grab a hunk of system memory.
Post edit: Wow! These people sure don't know modern laptops! C'mon, people! The better laptops now have actual replaceable video cards!|||Sorry, but the graphic adapter for your laptop is built into the motherboard. You cannot upgrade the video adapter in this notebook.
Laptops are generally built for portability, not performance. So they have to skimp in certain areas.
Powerful graphic cards require a big processor that puts out a lot of heat. Laptops simply cannot handle it without becoming too bulky.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.|||it's virtually impossible to install a new video card in a notebook, unless you want to go the expensive route and use an external one.. which is pointless because you won't get the gaming goodness you're looking for... if i were you, start building a desktop.

Do i need a good video card for apple tv?
I have a decent video card, but will be getting an apple tv soon. When I play my current movies on my machine my video card wont play them up to full par, but I will only be watching them on apple tv after i get it. Will I need a better video card or will apple tv accomplish this?|||So long as the files you have are directly Appe TV compatible, it won't matter. The computer just serves the file to the Apple TV, which does the decoding.

Any good video cards that have a PCI interface?
I have a 2003 Dell computer. I just bought Battlefield 2 and realized that my video card could not handle the game. I want to buy a video card that has a PCI interface. I cannot run PCI-E video cards!|||Are you sure you are limited to PCI, most boards on a system that can run battlefield will have AGP.
Check motherboard specs (AGP is usually a brown(ish) slot further fom edge of case than PCI )
A PCI slot does not have enough data bandwidth for modern video cards, you can find a basic card to hold your desktop, and use a better card for heavy work, but that would be a twin montor setup.
Check motherboard again, see if you ccan use AGP.|||you find some but nothing really that are going to be able to handle battlefield
time to upgrade the mobo for PCI-E|||First check if you computer has an AGP slot. Most older computers have an AGP slot. AGP graphic cards are still widely available (ATI, based on nVidia chipset). PCI-E (express) is the newer standard.
A PCI card is less powerful than AGP. It will work but performance is so-so. If you know your Dell model number, go to the DELL support site, enter your Dell model and look under technical specs for AGP cards.|||No PCI card is going to be able to run battlefield 2. If you bought it in 2003, it probably has AGP slot. You can upgrade that instead.
