[QUOTE="Croesus, post: 5939014, member: 35019"] I have a 24" monitor that usually is set for 1920x1080, though I run many games in lower resolution, due to graphic demands and because I tend to play older games. As for budget, I'd like to keep the cost to $150 or less. IME paying for a top of the line card isn't worth it except for some very demanding programs with all the options on. Right now the most demanding game I run is King's Bounty which my current card handles just fine. I won't be getting Diablo 3 (due to the online requirement), but may want to play a game with similar specs in the future, so that's a consideration. That's a relief. The last time I replaced a graphics card there were two types and I had a devil of a time making sure which my PC could use. IIRC, I had a half slot for one and a full slot for the other, though I don't remember for certain. I do remember that stores tend to frown on returns after one has opened the box and fiddled with installing the darn thing. :) [/QUOTE]
