You would be disappointed with an X1050 if you are gaming. I would suggest looking at the Radeon 2400 or 2600 series, or an eVGA 7600GS.

thats not really a gaming card its just a remake really of the extremely old 9500pro with some newer shader support.. go for a 2600XT if you want to play games that have been released in the past 2 years..

The Radeon 9500 Pro was better than the 9600 series, just a half generation older. The 9600 SE is the one that was recycled twice. First, they made an X300 from it, then the Radeon 9550 came in its own turn from that one. The X1050 amounts to some sort of crossbreed of an X300 SE with part of an X1300.

FYI, the performance capability went from the 9500 Pro on top, this way: 9500 Pro > 9600 XT > 9500 Vanilla > 9600 Pro > 9600 Vanilla > > X300 > 9600 SE > X300 SE.

Save your money for a decent computer if you plan on running Crysis. And if you do decide to go out and build yourself a computer, don't use Bestbuy, try Frys.com or Newegg and look for parts that have a manufactuers refund and free shipping. This is especially true at Frys.com, built my rig for under $1000 thanks to the money that I saved from shopping online there. And I can play Crysis and Fallout 3 so I'm happy with my rig.

Windows XP/Vista
1GB System RAM (XP)/ 2GB System RAM (Vista)
2.4 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 256MB RAM (NVIDIA 6800 or better/ATI X850 or better)

There's your problem. The x850 is a very old high end card, the x1050 is a slightly newer budget card.
