i'm currently just running its GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 on-board video. running windows 7 64-bit. my computer's rated 3.3/7.9 on Windows Experience Index .
i'm trying to find the best video card for my computer. since its only a PCIe x16 motherboard, beyond what ati or nvidia model video card will it be a waste?
im trying to get a good card for it since it's a quad 3.4Ghz..
i've been looking at some directx 10.1 and directx 11 cards even tho all of them are PCIe 2.0.
i'm not really that much of a gamer and wondering whether buying a $150+ video card is that necessary. will an expensive card improve my regular computer usage any?
will my PCIe x16 motherboard bottleneck or not just be compatible with some video cards?|||well if you want 6.9 rating get a NVIDIA 9800GTX thats what i have atm it has amazing graphics|||big hell no for ATI HD 5870! its a $400 card!!! $400?! thats the price of a very good computer. i'm thinking more of a card < $150.
the only reason i would buy a card over $200 is if its a super power saver card. i've been looking at the power consumption of the big cards and they're ridiculous.

|||If you don't play games, just get an Nvidia 9400GT and call it a day. There's no point in shoving a high-octane card into it unless you plan on using CUDA to offload certain processes to the GPU.|||The ATI HD5870 if you can go the extra mile its superb|||My nvidia geforce 9600 GT has never let me down and it ran pretty good on my PCI-e slot. until i upgraded to a motherboard with a PCI-e 2.0 slot. it is amazing!
