Dear Overclockers,
--- Situation ---
Need a card for another PC so I'm moving my old NVIDIA 7950GT to that system and will buy something new for my current old horse...
Budjet: below 200$
--- Needs ---
Some light gaming (MMOs, CoD, etc.) but if possible would like to be able to play "Bad Company 2"...don't care about settings just getting a playable game.
My main concern is stability... not difficult when it comes down to graphs, fps, etc. What I don't want is problems related to the card and have to wait for drivers, etc.
--- Questions ---
1 - Should having a NVIDIA chipset influence my decision between a ATI or NVIDIA videocard?
2 - In my PCI-Expresse 1.0 environment, is it worth to go above a 4850 or a 9800GTX+
3 - Which card would you recommend in that context? (if possible please recommend a manufacture as well)
I apologize in advance if this kind of question has been answered already, my current situation doesn't allow me to do the amount of readings and research I was able to do in the past.
Thank you.
