I've been running on my on board graphics card for the past year with my computer and I've found just scraping by playing games just isn't cutting it anymore, so I need a new graphics card.
My PC is a Gateway
Runs on:
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (build 7600), 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz
Memory: 8 GB of RAM
Physical Memory: 1 Terabyte
Monitor: 1280x1024 (32bit) (60Hz)
I was curious as to where I should start on graphics cards concerning games like Star Wars:The Old Republic, Call of Duty, and Mafia to play at decent settings (not super high settings, but to play them at normal smoothly); and what I should know before getting one and or installing it. My budget is the standard $100-$200 price range.
