VIDEO CARDS!

[Dark Lord of Tech]

What is the best budget video card for a system i'm building my son!He plays Conan and Warcraft!

 

[FallenSniper]

Awesome poll. Can't believe it's a tie!

^lol guys
I think the 5870 should be good enough
does he use eyefinity?

 

[hunter315]

Budget and resolution. To ask whether nVidia or ATI is better just makes you and anyone who says either way a moron.

lol 300w psu

 

[hunter315]

HD 4670 is your best option for that PSU. It doesnt take much power at all so it shouldnt cause you any issues.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

is he out of luck?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

he just told me his friend has an ati4650,do they have these at walmart?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

is the 4670 better than the 4650?

 

[mindless728]

SAPPHIRE 100295HDMI Radeon HD 4670 512MB 128-bit GDDR3

 

[jyjjy]

Yeah, get that

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

does walmart or target carry these?

 

[FallenSniper]

Best Buy might. I would be surprised if I saw it at WalMart or Target

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

is newegg a safe site to order from?

 

[jyjjy]

Yes, it is the best site for ordering computer parts

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

i just bought him the game and now i have to upgrade his computer for a game!Is he scamming me?

 

[eklipz330]

*** ing love tomshardware

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Is he trying to rip me off?Does he really need this card to run wargame or warcraft?

 

[mindless728]

as a side note does he have a pci express x16 slot on the motherboard

it will look like the one second from the top (or better yet look up the motherboard and see if it does)
PCI Express Pic (Wikipedia)

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yeah the slot is empty!he said the game is useless without a card.Is this true?His friend says it is pcie

 

[FallenSniper]

i'm assuming he's talking about World of WarCraft, which is a relatively tough game to play on older video cards. So if he has something really old, then no, he's not scamming you. You could just tell him to go play outside if you don't want to pay though. That's what I would do. ^_^

 

[mindless728]

as for the ripping you off, what is his current graphics card (and yes the 4670 is better than the 4650, not by much though)
