I really want to record games on on my computer and make commentary on them, but my graphics card just won't cut it. My OS is Windows 7 and I currently have a G33/G35 Intel Chipset family graphics card. What is a good, affordable graphics card I could get that would be better for recoeding games (w/o any lag). I heard Nvdia was pretty good, is there better?

Thanks :cool:

Well, I am not entirely sure because I am not familiar with the pricing of graphics cards. I'm open to anything reasonable. Maybe just throw out some options :geek:

To run a decent card you need a good power supply first....Fill out your system spec's so we can better help you.....Video cards can go from $10 to north of $1000 so your budget is a important thing to consider:)

Does your motherboard have a PCI Express graphics card slot for upgrading to a newer card? As others have requested, please list your system specs so we can better help you. For example, no sense in buying a mid to high end graphics card if you have a 6 year old PC with a low end CPU.

This mainly depends on what kind of games you play, and you like to record.
There are many good graphic cards (GPU) out there with a wide range of prices.
from my side, I would suggest you to buy Nvidia because it is widely used for gaming purposes.
And there are also many gaming cards from ATI Radeon which give good gaming results.
