Looking to upgrade video card on a ecs 780g board. currently running a hd 4830 but have constant driver conflicts and crashes on second life. do alot of building on simms so this is a troublesome issue. would the new nvidea 250 be a good replacement for my 4830?

system:
ecs 780gma
amd 5000+ black at 2.9gz
3gb ocz xfire pc6400
hd 4830
coursair 550watt psu
wd 500gb black

Yeah considering what you want to play and as long as your resolution isn't too high yeah that would be a great upgrade for you :D

Have you considered getting rid of the 4830? i would definitely be interested in a nice little ati card if its a decent price
