I just found out, sadly, that my graphics card isn't holding up anymore.

Anyone know where I can get a cheap graphics card that support a lot of the new PC games out?

not sure about the lounge, but tech talk has some good deals on graphic card advice.

should start by having a price range in mind. They range from 20 bucks to 2500.

Also tell us what computer you have so we can gauge what would be an appropriate upgrade.

I'm looking into getting one - my constraint is definitely my power supply. I've got a Dell 4600 which I think comes with a 250W supply. There's no chance of running any of the latest cards on that, but a Radeon 9800 worked fine. I might get another for a similarly rated machine... unless there is a better card that will work with that power supply.

just make a thread in classifieds like "wtb: 128mb pci graphics card"

and for the first post put "drunknloaded got one for 15 on here, looking to spend 30 or less"

i guarantee you will find one

Compaq Presario 8000
AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 1.79 ghz
512 RAM
NVidea GeForce 4 MX 420

I know I know...don't laugh. It was a decent computer when I bought it about 6 years ago. I'm looking to spend no more than $100...and preferably a card that can handle 128MB

I wouldn't waste investing money in that old system. Look at building a new computer, you can build a very decent gaming box for cheap these days and will be far better then that old computer. I wouldn't spend more than 20 bucks on an upgraded graphics card, but if you must, look at some older 9600, 9800 cards.

I built my e6600, 8800gts box for less than 900 bucks. Maybe more than 800 then what you want to spend, but the value you get will be greater. At least to me.
