What would be the best video card for my Desktop Pc? (details)?

HP Pavilion a1130n Desktop PC

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum…



It will be used for gaming. HD movie watching and recording webcam vids. I use Logitech Pro 9000 and it lags every time I record something on that computer and I have a 37" flat screen so what would be the best for me? I want a kick *** graphics card preferably AMD, And yes I know I have to upgrade my power supply too :p|||Your budget may have been helpful.... Currently AMD holds the fastest graphics card on the market... THE Radon 5970. IF you have around $700 to kill, this thing will kick any game's ***, as well as it's mother's, it's father's, it's brothers, and it's sisters *** all at the same time. This particular model is much faster than the stock base design with plenty of room for overclocking too (hence Black Edition). This card kills the GTX 295.

But i doubt you have that kind of budget, hardly anyone does, especially in this economy.



This card is more acceptable... this card will still kick the **** out of any game, and will handle blu-ray with ease. The 4870 outperformed the GTX 260 in every way shape, and form. The 4890 competes with the GTX 275. The GTX 275 is still $300, the 4890 is under $200 (almost with the 4870 price-range) Still puts a dent in your budget though:

If the the 4870/90 is still too much for you, the the 4850 has a great performance/budget ratio. Only priced at $120 it still competes with the GTX 260

Since that other one is out of stock at the moment, and if you can't wait, this one works too

If the 4850 is still out of your budget range, then consider this one. Not as powerful as the other cards, but still plays games on medium graphics, and does blu-ray fine. No power supply connectors required either.

I hope I helped. Please email me if you have any other questions.|||I'm unsure of your budget. But as far as AMD goes their newest video cards are the 5000 series.



The 5770 would be a very nice card, priced at $180.

There's cheaper cards but this one is XFX, one of my favorite brands. This coupled with a 750+ watt power supply would be really nice.



If that's out of your price range, maybe a 4850, priced at $110

Cheaper, but still a nice video card. Couple this with a 600+ watt power supply.



It really just depends on your price range. If you can afford something better, go for it! Good luck!



Edit: As said above the "Best" card would be the 5970. Priced at $650 about. But I would like to add something in. If you're still using your stock cpu, I would recommend upgrading it along with your video card. This would consist of getting a new motherboard and possibly memory. But at this point your almost making a whole 'nother pc, ha. Just saying getting a 5970 while keeping your old Athlon would create a huge bottleneck. Its a good idea to keep a nice balance between your cpu and gpu.|||37" !!!!



Woh you have a home theater system.



For you only one recommendation.



The AMD ATi 5970 Dual Chip Graphics Card.

ATi 5970 is presently the baddest, fastest, most powerful graphics card on the planet. No one stand in front of it. It gives 45% more performance than the Highest NVIDIA card.



I mentioned this card, seeing the 37" monitor. And to game on that high resolution, you have to get a minimum 5870.
