VIDEO CARDS!

What is the best budget video card for a system i'm building my son!He plays Conan and Warcraft!

Awesome poll. Can't believe it's a tie!

Budget and resolution. To ask whether nVidia or ATI is better just makes you and anyone who says either way a moron.

thanks if you ca help!

lol 300w psu

is he out of luck?

is the 4670 better than the 4650?

Yeah, get that

Best Buy might. I would be surprised if I saw it at WalMart or Target

Yes, it is the best site for ordering computer parts

*** ing love tomshardware

as a side note does he have a pci express x16 slot on the motherboard

it will look like the one second from the top (or better yet look up the motherboard and see if it does)

i'm assuming he's talking about World of WarCraft, which is a relatively tough game to play on older video cards. So if he has something really old, then no, he's not scamming you. You could just tell him to go play outside if you don't want to pay though. That's what I would do. ^_^

his computer is a dell optiplex 755 desktop .What does that mean?His grandmother bought it last year?

Considering the DDR3 version of the HD4650 is almost nonexistent these days an HD4670 is much better.

Lawl at this forum... I suggest for him to find a job and make him buy his own parts.

ok, so he either has 2400 XT, 2400 Pro, or intel 3100 (integrated)
it probably is needed (especially if he has the intel 3100 graphics card)

its easy to install, open case, take out the piece of metal in the back so the card can fit, plug in motherboard

What that means is that you may need a low profile card depending on the case. Is it the one on the left in this pic or one of the other ones?

well, if we knew what case you had we would know for certain
Low Profile HD4650
ialso comes with a normal size bracket if you don't need the low profile

Is it the left one in the pic or not?

well, i did post a link, click on low profile HD4650
it should be fine, and its only $55 (not bad considering many of us spend hundreds on graphics card(s))

thanks mindless have a great weekend !!!!!!!!!!!

well good luck, if you get stuck putting it in, just put up a thread

though do google search it first as you will more than likely find your answer

thanks for all the help everybody!this is a great forum!
