    i need a new graphics card, all the new games require good graphic cards and here i am with a radeon x300 which is total crap. So i'm looking into buying a new one, i went to best buy but they did have this card:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814133186

    for $156 but i'm not sure if it's worth it so i looked for other cards but i'm not sure which to buy. My budget is around $150 and i have a PCI - E x16, i'm looking for the best card i can buy within that amount and will last me a couple of years.

    thnx ^_^

    not many actually, warrock and PES6 but the graphics on pes6 are CRAP and they look like graphics out of the 90s

    no idea how they'de do on warrock, but both cards would absolutely max it out. heck half a 7900GS would max it out.

    same goes for PES6, and FYI it is from the 90s if I'm nto mistaken isn't it?if you get one of those cards, it would eb ebst used at either very high resolutions w/ high AA and AF or else you'de probably be safe getting soemthign a little less costly.

    Thought nVidia (pre-G80) could only run either AA or AF, not both.

    no it just came out recently, i mean after looking at screenshots of pes6, the gfx looked AMAZING even on the cd case yet on my screen there horrible, i have to play at 640x480 res just so it doesnt look as bad, so should i go and get the 7900gs at best buy?
