I'm currently in the market for a video card. I haven't been following up on video cards for about three years now. Skimmed through some of the articles and guides that tom's has , but still not really sure what I should get.
I'm a casual gamer looking really to just play HL2 and its mods (CS source, DOD Source, etc). Currently have a P-D 2.8 ghz, 1gb of memory computer. I'm looking for a video card that fits my needs, cheaper the better, request medium quality be smooth.
I've looked and these two seem to fit my needs and price range, Radeon X800 128mb or an NVIDIA 6600GT 128mb.
Both are around $150, and thats about my max range. Which one should I pick? Any other recommendations are welcomed. If there is a card that is under $100 that can fit my needs, please suggest.
