I have acer ast180 with pci express empty slot.What would be a fair video card to upgrad with for gaming?|||Thank god you have PCI-E lol, you can put all the best cards in there =]
erm.....
All depends.... if you do gaming i'd say get a Nividia GeForce 6800 or higher
The 8600.... get that if you play Counter Strike Source, or COD4|||I own one. It's a nice PC, it really needs at least 1GB of RAM, and it's great for everything except gaming.
The 270-300w power supply won't handle mid, and high-end video cards. Check power requirements before buying one! So your choice right now are low-end cards which aren't dramatically faster than the built-in one. Also, the PCI express slot is 8x instead of 16x.
I think it's more cost effective getting a Xbox360 (wait until 2008 after they redo the chipset), or a PS3 if they significantly lower the price. Many PC games will eventually be available on the 360.|||Well I'd suggest ATi because nVidia drivers aren't fully compatible with Vista yet. But for decent gaming, something with 512mb of video memory.|||I own an ATI Radeon HD 2900 with 512mb GDDR3 memory with special DirectX10 support especially designed for Vista and works like wonder in any game I have tried it with.It's about 400$ but if you want something more cheeper try ATI Radeon X1900GT or X1950 PRO or ATI Radeon HD 2600Pro..
Cheers :)
