What kind of DDR3 graphics card should I have?

[blakebooton]

My Specs : Amd Athlon II x4 (3.00)Ghz
4 gigs of ram
Windows Vista 64-bit
ATI Radeon HD 4350 512 MB

and I'm interested in buying a new graphics card and was wondering if anyone could help find the right match?

what's your power supply. also what screen resolution are you on, what games do you play, and what's your budget?

my power supply is: Orion and model # is HP485D and it has 485 watts, the screen resolution is 1600x900 and the game i play is Crysis, also I'm willing to spend my money on a graphics card that is worth to make this game play on very high.

that PSU isn't very powerful, but you could probably get away with a 5850 with your psu. If you wanted to invest in a new PSU you could get a much more powerful GPU.

I can't find it!

Can't find what? A better PSU?

Done.

try get a ddr5 graphics card. a gts 450 will work a charm and won't require a PSU upgrade. also you will be able to play crysis 2 on very high on a 22'' monitor 1600x1050. like i've mentioned in your other thread you don't need to match your graphics memory to your system ram so don't limit yourself to ddr3 just go wild

I should probably point out that whether a card has GDDR3 or GDDR5 isn't a good indicator as to how fast that card will be. A slow card can have GDDR5, and a fast card can have GDDR3.
Edit: Hmm, actually that was completely wrong. Pretty much all the current-gen cards are GDDR5 and most of the slower ones are GDDR3.
