Hello,
Need help picking a GPU upgrade for a low end rig.
So due to a very tight financial budget i am stuck using an IBM Lenovo low profile desktop with an Amd 64 x2 4400 and a 280W generic PSU...at moment it has a cheap ATI 4350 in there which handles WoW fine but Swtor is 100% unplayable...i plan to buy a new machine in 6-9 months but i want a card this PSU can handle to make Swtor playable until then (upgrading the PSU is not an option)
budget for the GPU is 80$ max (no rebate offers counting toward price please). Thanks for the help with this cappy situation =]

Does that PC need low profile cards?
You could pick up a Radeon HD 6570 for $60 to $70 and have SW:TOR be playable on low settings, that should be enough to get you through.
