Budget GPU

[Diablo Fan]

I want a budget GPU so i can play full 1080p HD content and play games like COD - MW2 at good frame rates.
My PC configuration are

CPU - Pentium D @ 2.80GHz
RAM - 2GB DDR1
Motherboard - Intel D101GGC with built-in ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Chipset
OS - XP SP3

My budget is 2500 - 2800. And i cannot stretch it.

HD6450 but playing MW2 & similar games at lowest setting only. if you have 17" monitor (1024X768) then you can run almost any game with some eyecandy. but any higher resolution, games will lag. also your processor is slow & ram is DDR1 i.e. slow. still games will run.

Guess ur budget is less for the mentioed requirements...within this u can get a htpc card like gt 210, hd 5450...
You may go for GT520 which avaialable for 2.7 - 3k on Flipkart..and i guess only these cards are available on your budget..

Increase your budget 1k more and get 5670 from sapphire for around 4k.

How about GT520 2GB DDR3 card its available at Flipkart at 2856
also HD 5450 2GB DDR3 is available at 2800. which one should i buy.
Will my MB run DDR3 GPU bcoz my MB support DDR1 RAM..

2GB vRAM is a waste of money at your resolution especially with GT 520(those are just figures to make people fool) better get the 1 GB version...
I recommend you to take the GT 240 GDDR5 which will perform very good in MW2
