Looking for a new gaming graphics card since last one overheated when a fan failed I believe.
I got the jist of info needed to select one.. but I don't want to just buy something I have the 'jist' of... so I figure someone else with this experience could point out some options with confidence?...
Price Range: 150-200$
OS:Windows 7
Mother Board: GA-880GMA-UD2H
PCI-Express x1
PCI-Express x16 slot (PCIEX16)
PCI-Express x16 slot (PCIEX4)
PCI Slot
Power Supply: 500w
CPU: AMD Atholon(tm) II X4 640 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.0Ghz
RAM: 4068MB
Located: Canada, Ontario, Toronto, Etobicoke or just GTA
EDIT1:
I've been playing at 1600x1200 on a CRT monitor.
It's actually a VGA plug.
I got a TV monitor as well but I'm not sure if it's an improvement to my own monitor... has VGA and a DVI as well as a number of component ports.
