I'm looking for a rather cheap newer graphics card. The only game that I have much interest on the PC right now is Left 4 Dead, and Half Life 2: Episode 3 (once they give some info about it). Now obviously neither of these games with be top of the line graphics since they will both be using the source engine. Currently my PC can run all of the games on The Orange Box, but Portal and Episode 2 require me to lower the settings if I want to play the game smoothly. And seeing as both of these games are reaching about a year of age, I'm guessing that with my current card I'd have to play L4D at the lowest settings and there would still be slow downs because of the large number of enemies on screen. So basically I'm just looking for a card that isn't too expensive and will allow me to play games like that at good settings. Thank you for your help.
There is no point getting a graphic card to play just one game.. See the bigger picture.. I would recommend u saving up 100-120$ and get 8800Gt.. Left4dead will not be out till october.. So u got time there.. Save some cash and get 8800GT.. The prices of 8800 cards are falling rather rapidly..
My budget is about up to $200 I suppose, I'd rather spend less then that though. Also I wasn't planning on buying a card till the game was about to be released.
