ATI Radeon HD3450 VS. Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 7100

Witch video card is better? As i am looking to buy a new rig (stock) and was wondering if these cards would be able to play FSX and GTA San Andreas without any problems. Please keep in mind that both rigs are both 2.4Ghz both have 3GB of ram the ATI rig has an AMD Athlon X2 4800 Dual Core processor and the NIVIDIA rig has a Intel Core 2 Quad. Those are the only differences. With rig would be the better choice?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Yes, you can play FSX and gta:SA with that pc. You'd probably be able to max them out too. Just some friendly info, the nvidia 8500gt is like $50 bucks and its HD with directx 10 and can max out any dx9 game. I had one preinstalled on my HP and I could max out all my dx9 games such as doom 3, quake 4, half life 2 etc.

Hmm thats funny, i had an 8600gt and it could barely max out any newish dx9 game. Y not just get a 9600gt atleast with that rig. its not even that expensive nowadays and it can max out basically any game on the market.

..at lower resolutions (don't get his hopes too high:P). I agree with them though, get a better card.
