I need to get something to help my computer out b/c it uses in integrated graphics card and lags some when the armies get big, even on lowest settings. Best buy has ripoff prices. And what skyR said. But yeah, you should have an ok selection there. Just avoid the GTX 465. Worst card choice available in the last 2 years or so, overall, not counting Nvidia SE cards. | ||

This is actually the computer I got. Would it be fine to put in the 6870? | ||

You have a 220w power supply which won't allow you to buy any graphics card above $100, you're limited to all the ones that do not require a 6pin PCIe connector (ex. Radeon 6670). His CPU would bottleneck for 80% of games anyways. | ||

That's assuming you're at least able to reuse optical and HDD. If not, add another ~$50-60 | ||

Doesn't work all that well with ATI drivers. | ||

However, if the card was a 470 or 560 TI, I would choose those though it would still bit a bit slower. You're suggesting a whole lot of cards that would be bottlenecked out the ass by his CPU. For Nvidia, reasonable resolution, and no OC, I wouldn't go above a GTS 450 with his setup. Regardless, he really just needs to upgrade the whole system, it'll be less headache, and not too terribly expensive to get better performance than he has now. | ||

I am not suggesting, just giving him a mere comparison of the cards and how I would have preferred it. | ||
