Video card for 1280x1024

[T_Yamamoto]

As long as I get 30 fps

edit: AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE XD

Sorry for the lack of text.

I got a pos computer and I'm gonna upgrade to a sb build. Just wanted to know what I'd be needing to run some casual games. Ex: tf2 mine craft. Etc

6200 le passive cooled

Had one and it served me well in BF2 at the same resolution till like i got like a 7800gs in late 2006.

Serious post?If so perhaps a 5770.

What are the rest of your specs? what games do you plan to play? budget?

A GTX 580 will get you more than 30 fps in any game.

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

There is not enough information in your post to justify a serious answer.

Budget?
Specs?

This. Under no constraint, only the sky is your limit.

That said, I've played plenty of games at that resolution, at generally high settings, with a HD5750, e.g. GTAIV, FO:NV, ME2, Mafia II, etc. The card will probably struggle on more demanding games like Crysis 2, DA2, BF3, etc.

Without looking at specific benchmarks, I'm guessing a 6850 or 6870 will satisfy in most games. Going with a second-hand 5850 and overclocking it presents great value too.

post updated. lol

thats updated? what did you have there originally? you have made 1400 posts here so surely you know to give more info than that?

 

[gmaster456]

Without knowing the rest of your specs, or knowing what games you'll be playing, I'll say an HD6570

 

[Arachnotronic]

Radeon 6670 should be pretty good. It's faster than what I've got in my A8 rig which seems to handle 1280x1024 just fine

Disable the "Sent from my Galaxy Nexus" sig. That'll boost your framerate quite a bit.

GT 240 512MB GDDR5 version (not DDR3 version unless you can find it for much cheaper). Wait for a sale and you can get them for ~$30 after rebate, maybe even less.

Great recommendation... I currently have a GT240 DDR3 version in a spare computer, paid ~$30, at 1280x1024 resolution... It'll play pretty much anything available today at that resolution!

Alright, seeing as how your going to be getting a Sandy Bridge system, I wouldn't put a ton of money into that system, so a gt 240 or 6570 would be perfect.

 

[IonusX]

speaking personnaly id get the hd 6570

 

[T_Yamamoto]

how would a a8 do?

 

[Majcric]

When you say a dell POS the first thing that comes to mind is a small cramped case with a cheap 300/350w power supply with no 6 pin connectors, so in that case i'd grab an 8600 gt.

its a 305 watt psu.
but this gpu is going into my new sb build

What do you need SB for? A Pentium D should be fine for general computer use and those games. I have a Dimension E521 with an X2 5200+ with a 9600GT and it does me fine.

9600GT/GT240/4670/5670//6570/6670 should all work.
