Well, I have an ati radeon hd 2400 pro (128mb) and all that I can say is that it's pretty underpowered, but what can you expect, I only paid AU$999 for the whole computer.
I'm looking at buying a new card. I have a budget hovering around $150-$170 (australian dollars) for the card, but it's becoming increasingly difficult because of our dollar.
Anyway, I'm trying to decided between this Saphire ATI Radeon HD 3850
Or this MSI Nvidia GeForce 9600GT.
Which one should I look at getting? The 9600gt takes up two expansion slots, but that's not too much of a problem. The 3850 is starting to show its age, but I don't really want a very high powered card, I just want something that can play games better than my current card.
So, which one should I get? Thanks
Edit: Oh and if you look, I'm going to buy an Antec Earthwatts PSU (probably)
