Need a new graphics card,what one?

[Minotar]

As above,im using intergrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 and just doesnt cut it.
What would you suggest to run call of duty etc
I dont want to spend mad money either though
I'll probably buy from here

I don't see your motherboard Listed so are you saying you don't have a PCI-e or an AGP slot.just a PCI? I think you must have one or the other and PCI is a typo. Fabe

Sorry about that,i tried a while back find out my motherboard and cant find it,belarc,everest etc wont show it and neither will system information etc

I have 2 pci slots,one is being used for a raid controller and one is free.
Then under that there is a slightly bigger black one which im pretty sure is agp

Had another look and went to the fijitsu site and found it. Its an MSI

Budget?

 

[ThePizzaMan]

hm.... pci-e........ if your budgets enough... i'd go for a 5770

 

[SlackerITGuy]

Not sure I'd recommend the HD 5770 anymore.

Most of them are going for ~$180 now (the Vapor-X edition is $199 on Amazon). Insane.

You could get a HD 4870 for ~$140. Or a HD 4890 for ~$190 bucks. And both of them will perform better than any HD 5770 out there right now (by a significant margin).

For the HD 5770 to stay competitive, it needs to fit in somewhere between the current 4870 and 4850 pricing.

January can't come soon enough.

Nothing mental,say £50
As it is with the one i have it might aswell not have one,cant even overclock it.

I take it i can only go with ATI as i have an msi ati board?

And as i use DDR" memory would this be out as its ddr3

Note that gaming depends on your hardware - that cpu will present problems in modern gaming. What resolution will you be playing at?

Too late,ordered it.
Not sure tbh,enough to fill a 20lcd and look decent

Options are very limited in that price range.

It's either a HD 4600 series card, or a much slower more expensive GeForce GT 200 series card.

he'll be fine with that cpu its the same one i have and my games run fine
