Please note I am NOT hardware savvy. I could be considered a hard core gamer and just got BattleField 3 and Anno 2070. Both games will run however BattleField 3 lags. Time to replace the graphics card. What do you recommend that is less then $100. I was looking at this

Here is some other info:

Operating System
MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Phenom II X6 1035T
Thuban 45nm Technology
RAM
6.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
Gateway DX4320 (CPU 1)


The research I was doing told me that i would need a "450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended" and I said what the heck is that. :(
Please Help!

I was thinking would it be better to crossfire two AMD HD 5450 cards together. Would that give a better performance boost. I am looking for something under $100. I also do not mind going over to Nvidia.

Your Power supply what brand and what size is it? A good PSU will run you about 50 to 60 dollars. Then the card you are looking at will help do the trick not sure if you can play on High though.

For under $100, the best card is the Radeon HD 6770 which is $90 after rebate.

However, you need indicate what power supply you have before you can buy a video card.

stick to AMD/ATI because they make better low end cards than Nvidia. You could cross fire but again the power supply need to know

Sorry for not posting it.


Power Suppy

LiteON PS-6301-08A
300 watts


I will stick to ATI if they are cheaper. Also have computer powered off and open at the moment.

Also would prefer frys or microcenter as a store.

And I will NOT be over clocking.

Yes to your question on the HD6770 or you could get what jaguar is linking you to. Any of the PSU that we have linked you to is also good. So now it is up to you on what you want to do. I wish you good luck on this.
