What Graphic card should i get

what games? what resolution? people must think bfore posting, a good overall card is the ati 5850.

normally the latest one is the best, as far as all the new tech it comes with, today i would say the ati 5870 $399.95
check out all the reviews in the top link under Graphic & Displays

win7 ftw

thats it? that for the nexted 2-5 years is what you want to play in

5850 then

@ sir kill alot what RESOLUTION should i be playinging in u tell me
i got no idea about computers or games i just got this new i7 cuz
people say its best for gaming

Windows 7 is the way to go for sure, much better then Vista.

if you are playing at 1280x1024 you really don't need a super high end card. All you could need is the 4850x2 and you will be more then ready.

If you are going to upgrade your monitor to a large one however then you want to look at the 5870 or 5850.

I'd suggest putting a 'placeholder' like the 9600GT in and waiting for the 58xx cards to become available and prices to realign.
Yes, I know the 9600 is not exactly dazzlingly fast but it's capable of reasonable performance at 1280x1024 resolution and not too expensive.
Otherwise and if you cannot wait, drop in a GTX275/HD4890 now and SLI/CF later on. But be aware, only the 58xx cards support DX11, if you do go for powerful card/s now, they'll not be able to use the new features when DX11 games start to arrive.

i was thinking of 4850x2 gotta work more to earn it though its quite expensive thanks @ ALL, for ur replys really appreciated it

You guys have thought controlled keyboards or what? Slow down so an old man can keep up
I's steer well clear of the 4850X2, get a pair of cards instead, the 4850X2 is well known for running hot, even in temperate climates, two well cooled 4850s will be a better choice in a hot country such as India.

The Samsung SyncMaster 740n is a 17-inch analog TFT-LCD delivering a 600:1 contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness, 1280 x 1024 resolution, 160/160 degree viewing angle and scanning frequency of 30-81 kHz horizontal and 56-75 Hz vertical with a fast response time of 8ms. It features MagicTune, MagicBright II, MagicColor and built-in power.

1280x1024 is not that good if u can sell it and upgrade itgood, if not check this list the higher up the list the better

@ Sirkillalot: You're asking for a clip around the ear, young man
@ Swarraws: Like you said in your first post, it's a good rig, just lacking in the graphics side.
As things stand, I'd suggest getting a HD4850 and start saving for a monitor/card upgrade later. Bear in mind, the 4850 can run most games at high settings on a 16x10 monitor and give playable framerates at lower settings, even at 1920x1080.

im not as young as i look 3 years off you

The HD4870 is a very potent card, especially the 1Gb version but check the cooler, this card is also known for running hot and many of the non-reference coolers dump their heat into the case.

@ sirkillalot: You look younger, what's the secret?
