Hey, I am new here and I have a few questions.
[I AM REALLY DUMB WITH COMPUTERS
]
I now have a Geforce4 MX 64MB Intergrated GPU, and it has a hard time playing up-to-date games on a decent fps. I am somewhat glad it can handle HL2 with low-medium quality, with little studders and an occasional freezing when something big explodes. Of course, the card will be totally useless in 1 year, so I want to upgrade to at least play HL2 on medium-high detail with a decent fps. There seems to be a great deal at www.cyberwarehouse.com (that store is actually really close to me) and they seem to be selling video cards there cheap.
They are selling a
Apollo GeForce FX5600XT 256MB DDR 8x AGP Video Card w/DVI
for $170.
They are selling a
Apollo ATI Radeon 9600SE 128MB DDR 8x AGP Video Card
for $129.99.
I really really dont have enough money to spend on a $200+ card since I'm too young to get a job, and my dad is going to have to buy it for me. Luckily, all my relatives gave me like $20 from christmas and it all adds up to about $120.
It doesn't have to be one of those cards up there, but I just want a card that is less than 200 and will hold me up for 2 or 3 years. My dad doesn't trust the internet because he's scared of hackers and crap taking his credit info (even if it is on paypal). So we cannot order anything online...
Bye.
