Help to choose New Graphics Card

Okay, well i would like to get a graphics card that can run vindictus and tf2 even if its on the lowest settings. My budget is $60 maybe a little more, but not much. Could anyone recommend one to me?

Very bad choice in graphic card...Not only it won't perform nearly as good as the HD4670, it will NOT be compatible with your system. That's an AGP graphic card - not a PCIe one. If you order it online, please cancel the order ASAP.

Well, ok then. I'm just want to know what GPU you decided to get for $50?

I have the GateWay 835GM
I also do have a PCI express slot.

I can't on on that site, ATM (using an unsupported OS - Ubuntu), but assuming that site is somehow capable of finding out whether or not you have an available PCIe slot or not, that "can you run it" site isn't a very good site to use as a reference...As well as it may not provide you the best GPU recommendation in a particular budget range.

It would be best if you answer our question as to what your computer model is. Also, mentioned what GPU that CYRI recommends (do they have a forum or it's a site that just provide a list according to requirements of the game?).

Assuming that you do have a PCIe slot, that HD4670 Bystander picked would have one of the the best choices in that $60 price range.

Well, you probably have a PCIe slot, but just in case, you can you post the model and brand of your computer?

Or you could identify it yourself (note the position of the slot and the notch in the slot): http://www.playtool.com/pages/vidslots/mballslots.jpg
