What gaming/HD video card should I get?

I have a LGA 775 Motherboard and an Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5800 3.2 GHz Processor, what video card should I get? I demand HD graphics and good for gaming.. I only want a decent HD compatibility and smooth gaming for the lowest price around that's compatible with my hardware?|||i suggest you to get radeon hd 5670, the 1 gb ddr5 direct x 11 graphics card which gives core clock speed of 775 mhz and memory clock of 1000mhz. it will just cost you 100 bucks and it is good with your system specs.. i play crysis 2 on my sistem with this and dual core e2220(overclocked) and get 50fps with med settings. make sure you have pci express slot





i frgot to say this card stand first in rank till now by price/performance tag|||The questions you always have to ask when installing a new video card are:



Is there an available PCI-e x16 slot with space beside it for the video card's fans?

Is there physical room in the chassis for a larger video card (many small form factor or minitower machines can't take a full height-full length card)?

Does the power supply have enough Watts to support the card?

Does the power supply have the correct PCI-e power connection cable for the card if it requires it?



Your first problem with your Lenovo and most inexpensive Dell, HP and Compaq machines is that they have 300W (or lower) power supplies Yours has 280W. Mid-performance and above Radeon and GeForce cards require at least 400W - 500W.



So to consider a card, you may have to replace the power supply of the computer as well.

You would need to check whether the case has the space and the mounting screw holes correct for a standard ATX power supply.



We also don't know your budget. Bang for the buck, the Radeon HD 6850 isn't bad at about $200 + a new power supply. But check the charts below
