Graphics Card
Hey guys, i was wondering if any of you know of a good cheap graphics card for under $150, i have an Nvidia GeForce 9500GT. If anybody would know of a better one that is under $150, please, let me know. i got a few games that will not run smoothly because of the settings i have on, im a perfectionist, so i pretty much need to have good graphics or else it will piss me off, lol
thanks

sry for double post, but is it a GIGABYTE GV-N98XP512H-B GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card?
or more like EVGA 512-P3-N874-AR e-GeForce 9800 GTX + Superclocked 512 MB DDR3 PCI-Express 2.0 Graphics Card?

ok, but using direct x 10 will let me play dx9 games too, right? and i read reviews saying that it was a 512mb, not a 1gb (which it says it is a 1gb in the name) and my 9500GT is a 1024mb (which is 1.24gb?)

You'll be able to play DX9 games with a DX10 graphics card. BTW, 1024mb = 1.024gb.

Actually.. 1024mb = 1gb
The higher the memory, the better it performs on higher resolutions, usually. |

damn it, so now i gotta find one that is 1gb? i got this demo (ARMA 2) that runs pretty good on all high settings, and there's only a slight (about 1/2 of a second, maybe less, but its enough to annoy me a bit) delay between mouse movement/keyboard button pressing and the action its used for, but its on a kinda low resolution. so i want a new graphics card to get rid of the delay, and im guessing there is a delay because of the resolution

What resolution are you running? I have 1440x900 and 512mb is fine for me.

1152x864 but in ARMA 2 demo, its 1008x756 for the 3D resolution to not have an even bigger delay between buttons and the game
