Which GFX card to play 1080p???

[╬Switch╬]

Hi, I have a P4 3.0 GHz CPU and onboard graphics from ATI and 1GB of RAM.
Im having problems playing 1080p videos on it, so I have decided to get a basic video card to help me play these videos. Im not much of a gamer, and it would be great if I could have a smooth Windows Vista and 7 experience. And I also use Photoshop.
So can someone suggest a graphics for me?
My budget is 2-3K.
Thanks.

nVidia 9500GT at Rs. 3,500/- should be fine for you. It will also help you game and is future proof.

^^+1, 9500GT is the best option now, its future proof too

 

[damngoodman999]

but supporting 1080p is impossible with 9500GT

 

[j1n M@tt]

playing 1080p video on 9500GT is possible, but can't handle 1080p HD gaming

Yup, j1n Matt is rite...
9500GT is the only option left for OP , IMO...

Thanks for the replies guys, but
Which one of these:

^^ Plz search for a 512MB DDR3 version...If not, then get Zotac 9500GT DDR2 512MB..

 

[╬Switch╬]

Which one would be better 512MB DDR2 or 256MB DDR3.
Also I m going to get the Samsung SyncMaster (the one behind the cover page of this month's issue) 22", will the card work for this monitor?
