    New graphics card, decisions


    Currently I am running a Sapphire Radeon HD6450 which is... not very good
    I am planning on getting a new one soon
    and I have narrowed my choices down to 4 cards

    Leadtek Winfast Gt640
    EVGA GeForce Gt630
    Sapphire Radeon HD6670
    Sapphire Radeon HD7750

    any advice? or suggestions?

    Get the HD 7750. GT 640 is a lot slower and uses more power, but runs cooler according to the two articles below.

    See these articles: both claim that HD 7750 is far better than the GT640, let alone the GT 630
