I'm about to upgrade to a new graphics card...need recommendations...?

Can you recommend a graphics card? My video card budget is $200.

I would like a card that will allow me to play games like Bio-shock, Lost Planet, or other graphic intensive games at high if not maximum graphics level.

The graphics card will be working with a Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz, 1333 FSB, 3GB RAM, 800MHz

It's not within your budget, but the Nvidia Geforce 8800 Ultra is Awesome

Goto the game sight and see what the minimum/recommended graphics cards are. For my graphics card I wanted to play a game called dreamfall so I went to the support section of the website and clicked on System Requirements. Also, pricewatch.com will let you compare graphics cards bye model and price.

Nvidia cards are really really good. Try and get something that has at least 256MB of memory. Any less than that and the games won't look as pretty. I've got an Nvidia GeForce 7800 that has 512 MB of memory and it makes things look pretty nice. Also check out ATI Radeon video cards.

Good luck!

I am pretty sure that you will need Direct X 10 card for them to work well, which only works with Vista, and more so because the next wave of games (the ones released in the next 6-10 months) use Direct X 10. Is it possible to get one for under 200 bucks? I don't think so... but they might have gone down. My fiance bought his two Gforce FX 8800 (overclocked) video cards for $700.00 (350 each) but that was a few months ago. Bioshock plays great on it, and from what he says there won't be issues with games like Crysus and such. We live in Canada though, and most electronics cost more for some stupid reason.

hmm, why not check the graphic card company or the games for compatability.

Personally, I gave up games because my ISP can't handle them.

If you're good to go with your ISP, check the consumer ratings for video cards.

Go get the Nvidia 8600GT (~$150) or the better Nvidia 8600GTS (~$200). These are the cards to get for under $200 and trust me, they get the job done. Don't Bother looking up the 8800s because that thing is EXPENSIVE!!!

PS: 8600GT need only a 300W PSU

8600GTS need 350W PSU
