[kunal08soni]

hii,
i want to buy a graphic card that can play games like BF3,MW3,NFS Most Wanted and all other modern games, at around 40-45 fps at high/ultra-high settings at 1680 by 1050 resolution.
my system specifications are:
cpu: intel core 2 quad (q9300)
ram:2 gb ddr2 (800mhz)
mobo:intel dp35dp
psu:corsair cx-430 v2
gpu: nvidia 9500 gt

Your best choice would be the Radeon 7850, the 1gb version if you plan to stick with your current monitor or the 2gb version if you plan on getting a 1080p or higher monitor sometime soon.

The 7850 is a very capable card, will run on your 430w PSU and be a decent fit for your CPU. See if you can overclock that Q9300 a bit, it could help as well

Edit : upgrading your ram to 4gb wouldnt hurt either!

I'd go with the HD 7850, or something around that price point ($200 or so). A 7770 will get you playable framerates at max, but you're going to see some dips into framerates you don't like. A 7850 will get you minimum framerates in the low 40s with maxed settings, and run most games at a buttery smooth 60 FPS with max settings.
