And the 8800gts is a bit faster than the 9800gt, which is what i recommended. A 9800gtx+ is like about the price of an 8800gts (~$130) whereas a 9800gt is ~$99 Realize that EVGA is actually a pretty expensive manufacturer (the items can be found with the same amount of VRAM for like $10-15 cheaper in other items on the list.

You should buy a video card, they're cheap nowadays. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121320 $54.99 and it'll close to max out SC at 1280x1024 and down. | ||

There will be a huge price drop in the 2xx cards when the 3xx cards come out, and considering how soon the 5 series is coming from ATI i expect we will have the 3xx series soon. | ||

With an upgrade to that you'd probably be fine, i recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121320 9600gso, 512mb, only $34.99 (where can you go wrong?) A 9600gso will trample the 8400gs and easily run SC2 well. Of course if you feel like spending more thats up to you. | ||

Just wait till you sc2 or sc2 beta comes out then you can get a gtx 250 or hd 4870 for cheap money, beause of newer generations. Also with those cards you can max out everything very easily. | ||

Well Im currently stuck on this video card since I'm sort of cash plus this is primarily a "work" machine. | ||
