HI, I have $100,00 bucks to get a graphic card to my PC where I'm using just a HD3200 integrated on the mobo... I've seen some options so far.. Like ATI RADEON 4770 512DDR5 or ATI RADEON 4670 1GB DDR3...or even i beat more expensive the ATI RADEON 4850 DDR3 521MB...but as you can see i restrain at RADEON since I don't know a lot about NVIDIA models....and another idea was get two $50 graphic cards with crossfire.....

I do know I won't be able to play some have games but which one would get me a better performance????

I would appreciate any help and any suggestion regardless of brand....RADEON is not a request...

Thanks!!!

Radeon HD 4850 512mb is your best bet at $100, no question about it.

That said, if you want to go to the nVidia side, you're closest is the GTS 250 at ~$120. The GTS 250 is generally only slightly faster than the 4850.

thanks....but it would be better even than 2 graphics cards running in crossfire like the 4650 ???

4770, 4850, 9800GTX/GTX+/GTS250 all perform around the same (4770 is slightly weaker than the other options)

Get whatever is cheaper

If it was me I'd go for the 4850, make sure your PSU will support it though.

Hi, thanks

The cheapest one at newegg.ca is the ATI RADEON 4850 either case on 512MB or 1GB but now I would ask with brand you recommend....

those are the list: Hightech Information System ( HIS ), Sapphire Tech, GIGABYTE, Powercolor, VisionTek

HD4850, and if you have the extra $20, get the 4870. No doubt the two best values out there.
