New Video Card


Father Xmas

Howdy everyone. My Video card has finally pissed me off. I'm going to buy a new one and my budget is 100 bucks. I'm buying off of NewEgg and I'm wondering which of the Video Cards in that setting would you recomend?

I'm tired of my computer crashing and I'm buying the new card on Friday, so any help before then is good, if not I will just buy the highest rated card in that range.

Can we get your system specs? The really important items would be the exact model of motherboard and how many watts your PSU puts out (while you're at it, the 12v amperage would be helpful).

I don't know if this will be helpful or not, but three years or so, I was playing with a top-of-the-line ATI card, and I was crashing constantly. I got a low- to mid-range nVidia card that was over a hundred bucks cheaper than my ATI card and have only had one issue since, which I determined to be a problem with Vista, not the card.

If I had to pick one, based on manufacturer, price, and ratings, I'd probably go with this one.


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Without more information about your system GageEndal I'm hesitant to recommend anything. The two important things to know, what type of video card slot you have and the size of your power supply, total wattage and watts (or amps) available at +12 volts.
