Okay hey everyone. My dad is going to update my computer with a new graphic card and he is looking for on at a local small business store, is this a good idea? Or is newegg better? Do they ship to Canada? So can anyone point to any good cards that can let me play oblivion, f.e.a.r, Medieval 2 total war, Civilization 4 at above average settings. Thanks. P.S the card should be around a $100.

Newegg doesnt ship to Canada.

You can try NCIX.

Playing the games you listed you wil be hard pressed to get good framerates with a $100 card. An 8600gt is a good card and can be bought for about $140.

This is the card that I have in my pc. It is the 8600 tg xxx I'm not sure how well it'll play those games buy it plays sc good enough for me to play on.

I don't play online so offline it does me just fine.

It plays doom 3 for me just fine. I think the grphs was at high not the ultra and I think the rez was at 1024x768 @60hz and it ran fine and looked great.

I'm not sure what kind of monitor you have like a ctr or lcd but on my lcd 32" screen and it is hd well it looks great.

I have also played C&C3 with the card and I just love how it looks. It is bright and also when I do oc on it it has a warrenty that covers that, If anything goes wrong with it send it back and they replace it.

Well If you do get this card I'm sure you will enjoy the way things will look on it.
