Look at that, i'm using the light to show off a pile of crap.

(Not really, it's expensive - but nothing really "cool")

So i score 4/5 and 5/5 @ Recommended @ System Requirements lab on my CPU. The Intel E850 or w/e it's called.

But, my gfxcard pfails. I can't even play BF2, (It says, but i think i can) so i need a new GFX card.

Got any suggestions? I know a lot of GeForce specs etc. but i got no clue about ATI.

I want something that's good cooled, and cheap. Cause to the CPU i'm using right now, i'm using the included cooler... which sucks. (It goes up to 69c directly, but there it stops)

I haven't got much money left, so please keep it under 320 USD or something.

I agree with this guy if you want one right now. If you can run everything that you want right now maybe wait for the 9800gx2 to come out. If you do you'd probably get a gtx or ultra for that.

ATI 3850 is amazing card for the value. 3870 is the 8800 competitor. Cheaper, but also lacks in performance. 3870X2 is high-end (600+ USD) And beats 8800 Ultra atm.

You can get the idea on performance here: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_ … ;chart=318

Right now the 8800GTS 512 mb is probably the best value high-end card.

Future card form space > Everything > ATi Rage > Intel GMA 3500.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
