I'm looking for a Cheaper but still good Video Card that would be good for WAR, i had just recieved as a gift a Intel Core 2 Duo processor E7200 (3MB L2, 2.53GHz, 1066FSB), 4gb ram, and just the general piece of crap video card they give u. I'm looking for a card that can be supported by my comp and work well for WAR. Thanks |

you can get a 9800 gt for around $130 - $160 on new-egg now. that would be plenty to run WAR |

I would sugest going with a ATI 4850 over the 9800 GT. They will generaly outperform this Nvidia card. |

Would that be able to be supported by my comp, and after u saw the other specs of my comp, do u think i;ll be fine for playing WAR? If you actually have the name of the exact video card would be great, i'm not familiar with gt. Thanks |

if you go with Nvidia there will be alot of different brands, find one in your price range. EVGA and BFG are both good but there are others too. as the number gets higher the price and performance go up, 9400, 9600, 9800 ect. GT just means its a performance model for that number |

o ic that makes sense thanks, and you said that the GT series, like 9800 or etc. would definitely be able to be supported by my rig and would be good for gaming? Thanks |
