Hello all. I'm new to this site and I appreciate any info you could give me. I'm going to try not to sound too n00bish. I'm thinking about upgrading my video card. I currently have Nvidia Ge Force 6800 (256mb). I have the PCI-e card slot.
I'm an occasional gamer. I mostly use my computer now for work that I take home. But every now and then I'll play some Battlefield series, Company of Heroes series, Command and Conquer series, Rise of Nations, Age of Empires, etc. But I've seen some pretty sweet games recently and I want to make sure I can at least play them with some decent frames/sec.
3.0 Ghz P4
Win XP Media Center Edition
2 gig DDR2 PC 5300 memory
Nvidia Ge Force 6800 (256mb)
I've been looking at the BFG GeForce 9800 GT on Tiger Direct (mainly because it's only $100). It has 512 mb, which is double my current 256 mb, so I figure it has to be better, right?
Anywho, looking for recommendations in the $100-150 range.
Thank you!
Mike
