zedman3d Fully Optimized Messages 2,850 Apr 23, 2009 #2 About $110 CAD for a 4830 which is better than a 9800GT/8800GT and then the 4850 is the next step up at around $140 CAD. Newegg.ca - HIS Hightech H483FN512P Radeon HD 4830 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards Newegg.ca - SAPPHIRE 100245HDMI Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards All this is assuming you have a standard PCIEX16 slot and not an old AGP (ancient tech).

But not a 8800... Just spend the extra 30 CAD or so and get a card you can at least rely on.

Click to expand... A card that you can rely on to play games at a decent setting. Not that its not reliable in the sense that its just going to stop working after 2 days.
