I am looking for a low budget Graphic Card with 1 GB memory [or 2 GB]
My motherboard has 2 PCIe 2.0 slots, I have see that a lot of cards use PCIe 2.1 or PCIe 3.0 - I am not sure if they will work in my PCIe 2.0 slot or not?
and I am not sure which would be better - AMD Radeon or Nvidia GeForce ?
My main interest is gaming and while I do some online play, the games I play online or more like Dawn of the Dragon and Dragon Fable [I might try some others with better graphics, tho]
My offline gaming are
RPGs [Morrowind, Oblivion, Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning and Fate]
Space Exploration Games [Master of Orion, Galactic Civilizations, and Endless Space]
Civilization 3, and 4 [Would like to try Civ 5
I am more concerned with Game Play than I am with graphics at the highest setting
I am looking at spending upto about $100 or so [less would be good as I only make about $8 per Hr]
So I am Looking for a Good inexpensive Video Card [and while my Monitor can not handle higher than 1600x900, who knows what the future will bring]
