well im just getting a computer built for mainly school and the guy building it wants to know what video card i want ( i have no clue) but i have a
few games i bought years ago that i couldnt play on my old computer because of EXTREME LAG (yea the old ones too including diablo 2 lol)
What video card/cards do you recommend that will work great with these games

Rise of Nations (ang expantion)
Age of mythology (and expantion)
lord of the rings battle for middle earth
lord of the rings battle for middle earth 2
Age of empires 3

will a new videocard even work with older games like AoM thats that needs a 16mb card?
(and i am a huge itiot when it comes to video cars)
if someone knows a suggestion or a few just give me some choices i can tell the guy building
 
First, we need to know the GPU slot on the motherboard you are buying.

Then budget.

And the specs of the rest of the computer, including wattage of PSU and maybe the amperes on the +12volt line. :D
 
Ok, just to remove some down time, if the rest of the specs are up to the challenge I would recommend either the 7600gt or the 7900gs, the 7900 if you are wanting to play newer games. You could go all out and buy a 7950gt, I saw one for 189.00 at newegg. Only thing is it would need a pretty hardy PSU.. 400w with 22amps on the +12volt line.

*sorry no links, I keep getting time-out errors, I really hate Comcast. :mad:*
 
thanks :]
yea he said that 7900gs would be the best choice for the price
thanks again the computer should get here on monday
