After finding out there was such a thing as Pci-e slots instead of VGA <.< I now need a replacement card, but am on a limited budget.
It's a Gateway Desktop (Have listed specs/model in my other thread - 8GB ram, 1TB, intel core 3.2GHz or something)
I need a card to be able to run 'Secondlife' on max settings (Shaders, anti-aliasing,etc) whilst keeping fps higher.
Other games I use are old, some java based, but this is the most demanding 'game' I use, along with Fallout New Vegas (Which my lappys integrated card plays- so I am not too worried about that)
Some cards I have seen are based around are Radeon's HD 5670 and Geforce GT 520 & 430.
Newegg.com - VisionTek 900357 Radeon HD 5670 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
Newegg.com - VisionTek 900310 Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Newegg.com - XFX GT-520M-CNF2 GeForce GT 520 (Fermi) 2GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card
Newegg.com - Galaxy 43GGS8HX3SPZ GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
My first instinct is the 2GB card.. but I may be really wrong!
What would you knowledgeable guys on here suggest ( Even if not one of these ? I really don't fully understand the different options these cards have.
My budget is around $100-$120
Many thanks in advance
