What is a good gpu speed for a decent gaming computer

[kirkrmartin1]

amd 955 3.2ghz, 4gb ram (10333), pci express, 750 watt ps., running windows 7 pro.

Monitor resolution please.

But at first guess a 6950 with potential for another in crossfire.

 

[kirkrmartin1]

1080i hdtv also mobo is asus usb3

 

[Griffolion]

You won't need anything more than a GTX 560 or ATI 6950.

Hmm... I would say I agree with griffolion up there, a single GTX560 or HD6950 is enough for your need.
But there's one thing we should know first, what is your current GPU?

 

[kirkrmartin1]

On board hd4250. Board is asus M4A88TD-M USB3

 

[kirkrmartin1]

I don't need a perfect 10 card just something for my 14 year old to play mid level games... Battlefield...black ops and the like

 

[wa1]

GTX560 is MUCH faster than the onboard graphic, so yes, you can get that card and see a HUGE performance increase...
What is your budget?

 

[kirkrmartin1]

around 100 bucks

 

[dmcfc]

for $100 a 5770 , or $130 a 5830

Well, save a little bit and get this card ($120):
