buying a new videocard

I have 42" widescreen samsung plasma1068x768 [at least I'm buying one next week].

mypc:Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20GHz,1gb of ram and myvideocard is R300X

I think my spec ain't that bad but my videocard sucks.so since I'm buying a new plasma. I thought why not buy a new videocard.

but the problem is Idon't know anything about videocard, i need help.

anyway I need a videocard that I can play games with max sittings on my plasma. Idon't know what's the max resolution that the plasama can display but Iknow that it's native resolution is1024x768 anyway here's a link for the screen

http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=televisions&type=televisions&subtype=plasmatv&model_cd=HPT4264X/XAA

and one more thing my power suply wattage is 350W so if I'm not mistaken I need one with400W-450W right? and how much will it cost me?

thanks in advance

1950pro can run all the games(not include DX10) on MAX in rather a low resolution as 1024*768

btw, how much can u afford?$100,$200?

u r rich.......

i think u should buy a new ram which is also 1 gig,then u canmake dual channel

i really think 1950pro is enough for u

btw if u need to run games on MAX with a higher resolution such as 1600*1200, u have to get two 1950 or just buy a 8800GTX

I went to samsung.com andall there plasmas were 768p. only one had higher resolution and it was 50"and double the price

btw I have vista, so what about10dx support?

u kno dx10 card is expensive

i dont really think 8600GT can run tEH 10dx game on MAX..............It will belike Powerpoint

btw ur television is not 1080P ,so u dont really need a DX10 Card to view HD movie...............

tEH resolution of ur new TV should be 1368*768.......So I think 1950 is really enough

oh, dont forget buying a new RAM

he plans to cost only 500 dollars on Video card.................

I still think DX9 is enough...even crysis could run at DX9 mode

No he said he has 500 for his PC. Thats 260 for 2900pro, 50 for ram, and 100 for PSU. Total is 410 plus shipping. No need for a 500 dollar card he is using a low resolution. Even a 2900 is overkill for todays games.

2900 is only 260???this world is crazy......

k I kno it now...I actually plan to get a 1950XT by the end of tehyear......now I think 2900pro is also a good choice...

thx guys.

so I need a screenw ith 1080p for 10dx right?looks like i need to look for a new screen

right now I have 2200$ to spend, and I can save up to400$ a month. so what I should do with them?

buying a new1080p screen will cost meat least 30000$

I have no problem if i need to wait for a month or two but I don't wanna wait then spend them on the wrong things

btw is there much difference between 768p and 1080p if there isn't i'll just buy the 768p plasma

(and one more stupid thing; which is better for gaming lcd or plasma?A)

com'on guy

i dont mean that 720p cant run dx10 games......

It happens sometimes, how close are you sitting to the screen? Are you using it soley as a computer monitor?

I have a 42" Hitachi Plasma 1080p and it is freaking awesome for movies console games and etc best I have ever seen!!

But for computers u want a LCD trust me I have had 3 different plasma's and they dont look near as good as a LCD so if you are buying for your computer get LCD.

kkk

dont be angry guy...........

I think a 27" LCD moniter for com. is enough...

even my friend's 25" moniter is 1080P(im so poor with my 19"lcd)

so , I believe a 27"LCD is really good for you.................

Take a look at Dells 24", 27", or 30" monitors. Way cheaper and way better for computer use. They can also hook up to a 360 and PS3.
