Hello everyone - First thread

[DSmile]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site, and already glad I've joined! I have a question for you guys, and I hope somebody can come up with a good answer that will solve my problems I like to play games, and i like to play them on the highest graphics, but with the newest games I can't seem to do that anymore, even though i had problems with the old ones too.. let's just assume my video card is sucky, sucky sucky (nVidia GeForce 310M). I need a good video card, but not too expensive (around 260-300 dollars max.), I was going for the ATI HD radeon 6870 but looks like the GTX 560Ti is better.. well I don't know, hope somebody can help.

-My computer's specs
Acer FIH57 motherboard
Intel core i3 530 @ 2.93 GHz
8GB kingston ram memory
1tb hard disk
nvidia geforce 310 (512mb vram)

--PLEASE forgive my bad english, it's not my native language, I'm italian. thank you

According to Tom's Hardware, the 6870 and 560 Ti are a tie. You just have to ask yourself - would you rather have eyeFinity, or 3d Vision?

hey

so first off what games are you playing ?

and really either card is good, they perform about the same

if you look at the chart and find some of the big charts and look for the
geforce 450...

that card is 4 times more powerful than yours (rough guess)

so anything you buy will be a HUGE increase over your video card

even a 6850
or geforce 460
