Best graphics card

06si · 03-16-2007, 10:33 PM

I am looking for the best graphics card I can get for $200 and under. I play games like World of Warcraft, Flight simulator, Second Life, and rollercoaster tycoon. My computer is an HP media center computer with a GeForce 6150 LE card and 2 gb of ram.

Here are all the specs on my computer

I run a GeForce 7950 GTOC From what my friends say, if you run an Intel, get a GeForce, if you run AMD get an ATI... ( I still personally like ATI better) I have basically the same setup you have.. HP media center pc etc. Are you using PCI Express or regular AGP for your video card slot?

IT has 1 PCI slot open and a PCI express slot open. I had ATI at one point and it was still garbage (I think it was the 1950pro or something like that). It had 512mb but my games were still jumpy.

You also may run a spyware program to get rid of any rogue programs that are running in the background that can rob your precious processing power. :)

i kno the 6150 is 256mb ram, but you could probably go 512 for $199. Check www.newegg.com, they usually have pretty good prices.
