Well I built my last computer with the idea that it would be a good HTPC for me to watch my movies and stuff on...I have it connected to my Flat panel tv via HDMI, and sofar the onboard graphics chipset has been more than adequate for what I have been doing..It easily runs 720p in my room, and 1080p when I hook it up out in my living room...well actually everything has been working out soo well for me that I am now thinking about getting a video card for it so I can try to play some games on it....Here is the card I was interested in....
Newegg.com - POWERCOLOR HD2600XT 256MB GDDR4 Radeon HD 2600XT 256MB 128-bit GDDR4 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Just to let you know I am not a heavy gamer well atleast on my PC...I do most of my gaming on my PS3, and that is why I am not looking for a really expensive card...Mostly I want to be able to make sure I can play the Need For Speed Undercover, Grid, and some older racing games.....
here are my computers current specs:
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
Newegg.com - Rosewill Stallion Series RD500-2DB 500W ATX12V Power Supply - Power Supplies
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards
Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
if i left anything out that you need to know just let me know and I can update...
I was just wanting to know if it was a good card to get or if there is something better that I should be looking at, and make sure that I will be able to play the games I am looking to play...thanks in advance
