hello great forum!
I need a gpu my budget is 2k to 2.5k
my pc specs are
p5svd2-vm motherboard
dualcore @ 1.86
1gb ram
monitor @ 1368x766

the needs are to replace the igp which is a pain when it comes to instaling linux
would also love to play some games like starcraft2 fifa the comin diablo3
at my current monitor resolution im assuming i can play these games at good detail
read in toms hardware that 4650 radeon is good it cost about 50-60$ so a gpu in its range is what im lookin at
can someone help me find the appropriate one! And if im goin 2 buy online from where!
Thanx in advance

only card that can offer somewhat gameplay at your resolution & costing 2.5k is 9500GT or HD4650. but usually HD4650 cost 3k & hard to find. so search for 9500GT 512Mb DDR2 from Zotac, XFX, etc. also avoid 9400GT as its not at all powerful.

msi hd 5450 1gig ddr3-2650 smc international or msi hd 4350 1gig ddr2-2400.
your choice...but ithink hd 5450 would be better!!!!

i know but those are the only cards that fall under the 2k-2.5k budget!!!!
and still they don't perform that awkwardly for their price.(except 4350).

he increased his budget to 3k. he can at least try get a HD4650 (maybe lynx or tech enclave). a HD4650 is considerably faster & can be considered kind of a gaming card. but HD5450 or HD4350, never never never. i remember reading HD5450 review in Anandtech around 6 month's back where they clearly mentioned gamers should stay away from these cards. just too slow. for these cards, even 256Mb memory looks like a lot.

if you look at Tom's H/W Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart, the HD4350, HD4550 & HD5450 all are in the same bracket & HD4650 & 9500GT stands proudly (literally) a few boxes above them. even a 9400GT is faster than these cards. oh, even Intel's SB graphics beat them.

technology is changing day by day....you cannot compare an old agp with the latest igp.i just mentioned that i took those cards according to the budget.i didn't knew he increased the budget to 3k.
according to the budget i would recommend n210(1gb) or gt220(512mb) versions and they are also well within the budget.

he mentioned it. but under 2.5k, the cards listed by you are the only avl option. but i think 9400GT will do better or maybe won't.

also GT220 is costly. but at 3k, it too can be considered.

IMO, you have decided right, for a low end you shouldn't think that much if you are not a mid/hard core gamer. Just buy one as suggested above and when you change your status to a hardcore gamer then buy a big one. :)

In the zone
i run a 9500gt 512mb on my secondary desktop and it runs crysis on a 19" monitor at low settings, with your budget i dont see a reason why you shouldnt buy it unless you can find a 4650 within your budget
