Low in Graphics card for my sister

[fatalshot808]

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This Week, price $30-$100, I would say the lower the better because she didn't really play too often so graphics quality doesn't matter too much.

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming(Sims 3, WoW), Watching movies, internet browsing

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: 7900gt 256mb VRAM(broken) 550 Watt Rosewill PSU(has the a 6 pin pci-e connector)

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: She has a low end system, E7400?2.7ghz dual core. 4gb RAM, PCI-E slot on the mobo, its a emachine computer if that matters.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com, or amazon.com

PARTS PREFERENCES: Doesn't really matter I just want a cost effective card.

OVERCLOCKING: No.

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1680x1050


ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:I was wondering which card is similar to the 7900gt in performance

AMD Radeon HD 6670 should do it for $96.99.

Edit: Radeon HD 6670 is a lot better than 7900GT. You can even do some casual gaming with medium detail with it.

As for lowest suggestion, 5570 @ $55. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131342 The 5550 is near the same as the 7900gt but the 5570 can be found for the same price.

Question... was the 7900gt adequate when it was working?

this one maybe?

 

[fatalshot808]

Not too sure about the 7900 gt because she only used it for a little bit before it broke I think she had med/high settings on WoW and the sims. I'll look over all of the cards I think she'd like the 5570 or the HD 6750 pricewise. 6670 looks nice too but for how much she plays idk if it's worth it. Her PC is a really cheap pc..

People need to read the thread before posting.

Btw the 6750 is better than a 6670, the higher number should be obvious. And those specs can support a 6850 no problem.

i vote for the 6750 hands down for a sub $100 card.
