Cheap SC2 Graphic card?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hi guys! I need help choosing a new graphics card for my computer, i just bought it last year but it is not a gaming computer, so the graphics card isn't that good! So i was just wondering if you guys can help me choose an affordable graphics card that allows me to play med or high graphics with 40-60 fps? Currently if i play in LOW graphics, it runs 75-80 fps, med 20-25 fps, high 18-20, ultra 10-15fps. Here are my computer specs

Best solution
get the GT240 DDR5 or ATI 5670. the both draw similar power so a 300w PSU can run them, the ATI is the over all better card but the GT 240 runs SC2 & WoW (probably Diablo III) better.
![]()
total system power draw is under 250w with either card
Core i7 Test System Specs
- Intel Core i7 965 Extreme Edition (Overclocked @ 3.70GHz)
- x3 2GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-12800 (CAS 9-9-9-24)
- Asus P6T Deluxe (Intel X58)

This review from July 2010 shows that Starcraft II favors Nvidia cards. At the time, AMD/ATI cards could not use AA settings, but that has probably been fixed by now.
The great thing is, that a lower end card should be able to run the game well, as long as you adjust the settings and lower AA. Unfortunately, your PSU is holding you back. Too bad you can't cough up ~$80 for a new one.
