8800GTS!!! You'll start making me go to Lanparties and water cool my case next.
I might wait until the G45 chipset comes out and stay integrated.

8 Series is the way to go. I upgraded my 7600GT to an 8800GTS a while back and my frame rate more than doubled. I can actually play games in 1900*1200 now. They have done something amazing with the 8 series IMHO it blows everything else out of the water.

I'm not sure they sell dedicated graphics cards that tulipe!
That 8500 in Ardesco's post is pretty good, altho be aware that the heatsink is pretty humungous and you should make sure there is enough room in your case first!
This 7200 is a bit smaller and a bit cheaper but will still be able to run vista etc and has a DVI interface

GeForce 8 series is miles ahead of anything else atm, dunno how fast the budget ones are but I'm guessing it will be more than good enough for what you have in mind. (Note it has no fans and is the silent edition)

Bog Standard Graphics Cards
Ive been looking at new motherboards but was thinking of getting a chipset that doesn't have integrated graphics i.e Intel P35.
Is it possible to get a PCI express graphics card thats the equivilent of the Intel gma3100 integrated graphics.
i.e. I want a bog standard graphics card.
No fans or massive heatsinks and still runs cool.Tags: None
