Hi all, been researching a little into what's the optimal poor man's video card. and it says it's the ati hd 3850 or hd 3870. unfortunately the 3870 has skyrocketted in price (or was it my imagination thought it was $170 a couple of weeks ago now pricespy says $220). but there is still a 3850 at old price of $150. but i wonder if there's any card for 100 bucks that'll play games at 1280x1024 very comfortably.
currently have a very old ati xt1300 (says 600mhz gpu and 500mhz ram 256mb)
another silly question -
my dell says its psu is 300W. does that mean i have no hope in installing a high end card like the ati hd 48xx series for bluray/hdmi?
currently has 4 1gb ram slots used, 2 hard drives, a dvd burner drive ...
