I want to have good specs for about medium quality or high. I think my video card does need to change but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

medium, but what really kills computers is the traffic density and view distance options. On consoles the view distance is 21, traffic density is somewhere between 20-30, and most other settings are between low and medium with night shadows off, vsync and definition off. You dont often see copnsole ports with setting that scale so high.

Yea the 4850 looks really good, but the 5670 looks good either. But the 5670 is so expensive, like $300 and I only want to spend $150 and less.

Ah I found the price, the 4850 is about 100 euros. And the 5670 is about the same. So the 4850 is better? Then I think, if the price is like the same, I take ofcourse the 4850

yeah the 4850 is significantly better but the tradeoff is that its only dx10 and has no eyefinity support. and also has no blu-ray support if you want any of those things (and dx11 isnt that big of an improvement over 10)

So what do you advise? Yes or no? I think it depends how significantly it changes.

sorry my keyboard has REALLY bad keys. but i wanted something wireless and ergenomic and it fits both. it also occassionally locks up after long periods of use.

but also on the positive side this thing never runs out of battery power. a good set of AA's last me months :P
