Here I am again lacking in a graphics card. I know nothing about them past a 6800GT. I currently have an ATI X1650 that went south on me, thus I am also computerless unless I bring my laptop home from work (meaning my family is computerless until I get home).
I don't do much in the form of gaming anymore. I'm still running with LFS and FS9 as pretty much all I would do which the ATI worked just fine with.
I'm looking for a cheap gfx card of which they are so beyond what I know since the 6800GT era that I have no idea what to look at. I'm just trying to match up with my AMD64 3500 processor.
At Newegg, I am seeing a lot of 9500GT cards for $50-75. As for power supply, mine looks weak at I think 288W. I want to make sure something will run on that.
Would anyone have any suggestions? Like I said, they have moved far beyond what I know when I was looking before, which was in the 6800GT era of being a really good card. Really, anything above my now defunct X1650 would suffice. I'm just looking for cheap, which I see there is a very large selection. Thanks for any thoughts.
