i'm probably the least nerdy kid to play this game as much as i do, and i'm in dire need of a new graphics card, i have no idea what to get, though. i want something where i can run UO and CoD2 smoothly, and without lag. I'm thinking about 60-100 bucks? maybe you could give me some links to some sites. I'm thinkin about heading over to best buy or something like that.
thanks a lot edit: i've seen surfing bestbuy.com and i'm basically like "oh 100 bucks seems okay" so here's the one that caught my eye for the price-range i'm hovering around. This post has been edited by Lord Lipton: 01/30/06 3:15pm --------------------  |

You are probably not gonna want to go lower than the 9800 model in the ATI cards.

ATI has different models like Ford Escort, Taurus, Mustang. You are gonna want to go with a Mustang to play these games smooth and fairly high settings. If you go lower than the ATI Radeon 9800, you may not be as pleased with your investment. I use an ATI 9600XT and its OK.
You are going to pay an arm and a leg in retail stores. Order it online. Try Newegg.com. Damnit Lipton, now you got me looking at cards to upgrade  Check this one out. -------------------- "Difficulties come and they pass, but it is a shame that sometimes these difficulties must pass like diarrhea" |

www.pricewatch.com, your best bet may be a x800 or 850, they are getting pretty cheap now.
