Re: looking for a new Grpahics card
What resolution are you running? What games do you play?

Re: looking for a new Grpahics card
Go with the GTS 250. It's faster than the 430.

I game at 1920 x 1200 and can have all in-game options maxed on every game I own. Some, like Crysis, I can't use any AA. But most titles I can run maxed with some AA. Should work great at your resolution with AA in every game. |
