Best Gaming Video Card for Under $100.00?

I'm getting a new PC, it's an Asus - Essentio CM5570 and it is definately going to need a new Video Card and possibly a new power supply, depending on the video card. I believe the standard power supply that comes with this computer is a 300watt power supply.

I need a video card that is HDMI capable, under $100. If the video card needs a power supply please give me the correct watt usage, or the minimum Power Supply info.

I will be using this for Diablo 3 when it comes out, will want to run Diablo with the majority of the graphics maxed out.

I will also be using this for World of Warcraft and will want to be able to run with the majority of the graphics maxxed out.|||The best budget gaming card presently in the graphics card market is ATi 4670 1GB GDDR3. It has same performance as costly NVIDIA 9600GT which is about $40 more. ATi 4670 thrashes every game in the world in MAX settings and resolutions of 1440x900 and 1680x1050.

For $60 only.

And ATi 4670 is a very cool card, and consumes very less power. So a 400watt PSU would work. Even 300watt would do, but I dont recommend it under extreme gaming.

NVIDIA 9600GT costs more, same performance, requires extra power cable, is a bigger card, consumes too much power at idle. None of the NVIDIA cards are as good as their ATi counterparts.

For a bit more than 9600GT, you can get ATi 4770 for $109 which thrashes 9800GT. 50% more performance. If you can spend $109, I would say go for ATi 4770: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…



Every one recommends 4670 in the budget range. Diablo 3 will easily be maxxed out by ATi 4670.



I hope you get your best gaming machine. For any more help or questions, feel free to ask me. Contact me at akash1988@gmail.com|||Take a look at this article:

According to tomshardware, the best graphics card for ~100$ is the Radeon 4850 512 MB. When you buy the graphics card, it will list the recommended power supply in the specifications. If you have the spare money, I would recommend going 100W above the recommended. This will keep the power supply lasting longer and give you some working room if you want to install extra hard drive etc.|||Get an ATI Radeon 4830/4850. You'll need a 500-550w PSU
