Ive been recently experiencing lag and slowdown in some games Ive been playing and was thinking on upgrading my video card.

My current card is a GeForce 7950GT. Apparently a well priced upgrade would be the GeForce 8600 GTS. What I dont understand is the 7950 has 512mb of ram, and the 8600 runs only half that. So how is it an upgrade?

Thanks
 
Well its kind of hard to know what you consider reasonable but the popular choice right now is the ATI Radeon 4850 which is about $150 - $200 after MIR depending on the company you choose.

Your card is a PCI-E slot card right?
 
I'm in the same situation kind of. I'm thinking about getting a new GPU, because my 7950gt isn't holding out anymore. A 4850 would be a great GPU, good value for the money.
 
Yeah but it doesn't out perform it.

In that case 9600 GSO's in SLI or 4670's in Crossfire is a GREAT deal as well.

Especially with some mild over clocking.
