need help with a cheap vid card

breakthesilenc21 · 06-02-2006, 03:48 AM

I have right now a 256mb nvidia geforce 6100(integrated chipset-stock with my pc)
i downloaded a demo for fear and for GRAW and both lag. I also Have halo and i cant even play it lags so bad... ive also been told since its integrated its taking my memory. I have 1024 mb memory and it says i only have like 864mb. I want a new video card but i only have around a $50 dollar budget so i was wondering what would be a good card?

also i saw this and it seems good but im not sure:

I'll sell you my GeForce 5500 for 60 bucks. I bought it for 90$. Shipping, free. I need to get rid of it for a new airsoft gun.

It's untouched, unopened. Brand new. I'll show pictures if you need me to.

It only costs $30 new on newegg...

Anything for $50 or under would be more of a downgrade than an upgrade, if you really want to upgrade you would most likely need a budget of at least $80.

You can play CS source with it and have no lag, at all. WoW, no lag, at all.

And yeah now I'll sell it for 40 bucks, I really, really, need to get rid of it.

You should get at least a 6600/GT for the 6 series, or at least a 7600gs for the 7 series if you would like a noticable improvement.

You can not sell anything on this forum unless you have 100+ posts.
