9500GT

the price you pay for that 9500GT you are way better off spending it on a hd4670.

take a look at some gta4 treads, the answers about your gta4, fallout3 question will be quickly answered.

9500Gt is not a gaming card for todays newest games. what is you budget to spend on a gpu (graphics card)?

Not so bad. I have a XFX 9500 GT 256MB DDR3 and i can play Need For speed undercover on max settings / AA 6x / Max details and Textures. On max resolution on average ~ 60 FPS.

Yeah the game is a joke on the PC. It's like they just ported it over to the PC platform as is.

i went into the fallout 3 site and they said there that theses Graphic cards NVIDIA Geforce 9800 series
NVIDIA Geforce 9600 series
NVIDIA Geforce 8800 series
NVIDIA Geforce 8600 series
NVIDIA Geforce 8500 series
NVIDIA Geforce 8400 series
NVIDIA Geforce 7900 series
NVIDIA Geforce 7800 series
NVIDIA Geforce 7600 series
NVIDIA Geforce 7300 series are good so is the 9500GT 1024 MB is good as well?

A '78 Chevette will make the trip from LA to New York, but wouldnt you rather do it in an '08 Escalade? Or more accurately, maybe an '08 Cobalt.

how about pci express 9600gso with 768 mb v.memory?

Agreed. I'm running the card and it's very budget but overclocks like no other. Stepping up to a GX2

yes you could run gta4 .need prove. all you need is q8200,4gb ram,9500gt to run it. ps3 is running 7900gt on 640p on their system so its possible to run it~! you have to update ur driver and game.so patch it up to 1.3 version to fix fps. if you want to run it to xbox 360 graphic(which is 720p).trust me it work. here is the setting.also i found that when you run texture high.you get more fps.its wierd but its true. anywayz, here

rockstar did a terrible job porting it to pc. i use commandline to fix everything.
