Greetings,
I am looking for some suggestions on an upgrade for my Graphics Card. And, yes, I did do a search before posting on here.
Currently, I am running an NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT with 256 MB ram. PCI-E is the bus. I have a Gateway GM5474 AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000 3.0 GHZ
I am looking for dual outputs so that I can run dual monitors. Preferably dual DVI.
I bought a GeForce 8600 with 512 MB of DDR2 and I didn't see much improvement other than being able to run Dual monitors.
The Windows Experience Base Score went from 4.8 to 4.9 for Graphics. Gaming Graphics was unchanged at 5.1. I only threw this in for a reference.
I am not a heavy gamer, but, I do enjoy playing RPG games on occasion. Currently, FATE.
Any suggestions? Like most people, money is primary. However, I am willing to spend a little more to get a much better card. e.g. if I spend $150 vs $120 I get a marked improvement.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dan
