New Video Card (Budget)

[dawizhacker]

Well, I bought GTA 4 and what do you know 7600GT won't cut it...not even close, the 7600GT has 256 MB on it GTA requires at least 512.

I recently sold my higher end card for a deal I could not resist.

Now I basically need a new graphics card.

I can only use newegg.ca or ncix.ca as I live in Canada and only trust those.

I'm not a super hard core gamer/oc'er anymore, just a general user with a semi high end pc.

Budget is 100-160$. Do you think there is something I should take a look at?

So far I was thinking

Newegg.ca - EVGA 512-P3-N975-AR GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

9800GT Sounds good to me, I have a lot of folks who have purchased it with some pretty impressive benchmarks and performance.

Get an hd 4850 or a 9800GTX+. They fall in your price range and are probably the most future proof you can get for your budget.

one vote for the 4850.

Or if you want really cheap then 9800gt or 4830.

+1 more for the 4850... or if you can find a decent price on a 9800GTX+, but the 4850 outperforms it almost always, and is usually cheaper anyways

not sure how much GTA4 will like running on a single core old school cpu
