| 845043 | 2010-01-03 05:45:00 | which card would cover the most number of these types of games for the least amount of money? I'd still get the 4850 instead. It's what I call a low end card. Anything less is not worthy of being called "gaming". |

| 845049 | 2010-01-03 23:51:00 | a friend of mine said nvidia is a more reliable company. he runs a nvidia geforce 9600 gt on 4gb ram, win 7 os, core 2 duo processor and all his games, ie. borderlands and halo, run fine on maxed out settings. so i was considering getting one of these (www.bestbuy.com 35693&unProductString=1218138183998*1218135440392*121807 6082739*1185265539488*1218135446998*1218135445513* 1218102780717*1218102200449*1218072680869*12181381 84741*1218135442091*1218135451898&catId=) the cheapest one ($110) would do the job as well right? and is there a big difference between a 1gb video memory card and a 512 mb one? because my shitty little intel integrated express card has 1695 MB total available graphics memory... so removing that and putting a 1gb or a 512 mb card wouldnt downgrade performance would it? |

Any stand alone video card is going to be better than integrated. The integrated uses the RAM on your motherboard. nVidia is not a brand as such. If it were me I'd look for an Asus video card and I'd go for a 4770. You also don't say what outputs you want like VGA, HDMI, TV out and etc. This is why I shut up until such time as I have enough information to give you advice. |

Sigh. nVidia and ATI are just chipsets used by various graphic card makers. What I worry about is I have no idea who pny are. Try a search for Asus, Gigabyte, XFX cards in your price range. I will check out your site above for something that will suit. Here we go. www.bestbuy.com Card/9653006.p?id=1218138183998&skuId=9653006 You will need an adapter to plug the monitor in if the cable from the monitor will not go in the card. |
