new graphics card
so when i play stalker call of pripyat my entire computer shuts down without warning when i try to play. so i checked it under canyourunit and it turns out that i need a new graphics card with a little more umph, and it recommended that i get a
512 MB DirectX® 9.0c compatible card / NVIDIA® GeForce™ 9800 GTX / ATI Radeon™ HD 4850
now i am not very good at this tech stuff so if you could help me find this or something close enough so that i can run the game that would help a lot. also as i do not have a job atm i would like to keep it on the cheaper side.
thanks in advance

Re: new graphics card
How much are you willing to spend? Going by newegg a gtx cost about $119 and a 4850 is $90. You'd be better off getting the 4850. If you have to save up to buy one, like me, then you should try and save about $120. You could get a 5750 for that much and you'd be set for awhile.

Go nowhere else. Although once in a blue moon TigerDirect is cheaper.
Although if you can get a hold of an .edu email address, amazon has free prime shipping for students.
I'll post a link, once I'm home.(posting from my phone is tedious)

Re: new graphics card
And Newegg does free shipping on half their items every day. I've paid very little in shipping to them despite all I've ordered (built 3 comps in 2 years, of course only one is mine...).

Re: new graphics card
Just as long as you don't live in California. We get charged sales tax for online stuff too. BTW, a sales tax increase of 1.1% in a very short time (2.1% in the area next to me) turns out to be a lot in the long run or when buying nice computer parts. What I'm trying to say is make sure you calculate in sales tax if you have to.madmattd wrote:http://www.newegg.com

Good call. But pretty much anything online charges tax in CAL, it's still cheaper than in-store.Snake Oil Salesman wrote:What I'm trying to say is make sure you calculate in sales tax if you have to.

My monitor and chassis were actually much cheaper in a store (not even counting shipping).madmattd wrote:Good call.
