Looking for a cheap video card to upgrade my nvidia geforce 9500 gt 1 gig card.



I have a quad core 2.66 gigahertz cpu with 4 gigs of ram. and a 750 wat power supply What card should I get for a price range of 200$ that will allow me to play on high or ultra graphics with 60 fps?|||The top 3 popular graphics card are currently:



In order of price and performance (descending)



Radeon 6870 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…



Radeon 6850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…



GTX 460 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…|||Increase your ram to 6gb out of the three the gtx 460, hd 6850,hd 6870 the better buy is the hd 6870

sparkle,msi, are two of the amd vendors i would buy that card from|||might i recommend the ATI HIS H687F1G2M Radeon HD 6870

POWER REQS:

500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connectors recommended (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for AMD CrossFireX technology in dual mode)



and just a by the way i used to be EXTREME nvidia fan, but i have come to learn with my experiencee that AMD makes a betterchip set!





Hope i was of help, but either way Good luck, It's always exciting to upgrade your computer!|||Your only reasonable upgrade would be a HD 5770, which should be about $125 or so.



You can go with a HD 6850, but you'll be spending extra money for no extra performance.



While your current video card is definitely a bottleneck, your CPU has a relatively low clock speed. A HD 6850 or better would be bottlenecked by the 2.6GHz CPU.



If you want better than an HD 5770, you should get yourself a Phenom II processor around 3.3GHz or faster to go with it. (a dual core at 3.3GHz would perform better for gaming than a quad core at 2.6GHz)



But the HD 5770 should perform quite well on your current system.|||consider these:

1.hd6870

2.hd6850

3.460gtx hawk edition from msi.

560gtx is highly reccomended if u can spend a little more.
