Í think the best bet for your price range would be the 460 gtx or something similar. I'm not very familiar with the newer series of graphics cards though, so maybe I'm wrong.

I narrowed down based on your price range (100-200$) and by Manufacturer (evga is the shit)


Since you had a nvidia card previously I put that as my filter as well.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130600

That's really all you need for halo or anything.

Look around and fuck with the filters.

you can usually find the ATI 5870 (usually comes around ~300ish) for about like $170-190 on www.techbargains.com which is almost 50% off :P

*thats sorta old (i stopped looking at that site quite a while ago or at least stopped searching for video cards)

assuming that ur upgrading (replacing) to play other video games besides halo, if not, go with the Nvidia MX 440.

i bought this computer when vista first came out

and all i heard was complaints about vista

so i just got xp

win 7 might be nice

i have 2 gigs of ram
so i'd have to buy new op system + ram

on top of a new vid card

xp is fine with me tbh

it should be fine. they're dvi ports and that's what most lcd monitors are (i think?). I use a crt and I need one of those to get mine to plug into my gfx card

blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.

my price range is around $120

and the specs on my computer are
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz
nforce 680i sli mobo (dual pci express x 16) ddr2 800 intel socket 775
windows xp os
750w power supply

what card would you guys suggest for that setup?
I don't know if you are looking for a powerful card or what not, but from experience from a similar set up nvidia 8800, 9500-9800s were really fucking sexy. I guess I do use 4gb of ram though

I had a 9800 gtx, which eventually fried, but i replaced it with this. I recommend especially if you want decent gfx performance but don't wanna spend too much...."occasionally gaming" I guess. I am sure most people will probably disagree with it though haha.

invert thinks he is all grown up smoking that ganja.


cf, i personally own a 460 gtx. Shit is mad nice for the price i got. It runs real smooth and cool and after my last update, it runs halo with DECALS ON! But if anything, get something equivalent to what i have or get something better. Games like BF3 will need a boss card later on.
