Whats a good cheap graphics card?

my birthdays coming up and i was planning on getting a graphics card but my budget is 100-200$ so whats the best card i can get in this price region that will allow me to play high graphical games like dragon age and mass effect 2 (i doubt there is one that can play crisis in this price range but is there?) (ps i currently have a nividia GeForce 7100)|||Play Crysis in that price range? Absolutely.





Try the GTX 460.

At 1680 x 1050, on Gamer settings, it gets 40fps.

The HD 5770 suggested by the "Top Contributor" above me is listed in this benchmark as well. It gets 27 fps.





You will need a suitable PSU as well. The GTX 460 in a system with an i7 980X, and 6 GB of Kingston HyperX DDR3 1333MHz RAM pulls about 270W. This translates to 22A in total. So around 18-20A on the 12v rail.





A quality 400W PSU will suffice. Such as this one:

30A on the 12v rail. More than you need.





Hope this helps.|||something like this one would probably do it:

Just make sure you have the required connectors on your power supply and it meets the minimum wattage requirement. Should run your games with fairly high settings, maybe not maxed but definitely playable. Crysis will probably run on medium.





Jasuchan is wrong. He suggests a 400W power supply will work for a card that requires 450W minimum. Don't buy the combo he suggested. The card is fine but you need a better power supply if you don't already have one. Plus that card requires 2-6pin PCIe cables. 400W PSU has one.|||What system are you using?
