neddamttocs Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 (edited) i can suggest a BFG 5500 oc. I had one that played HL2 at med settings at a decent rate (decent as in 25-29 fps) Here's a 5500 OC @ FutureShop EDIT: actually hows this http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?d...650&cid=999.821 Edited November 4, 2005 by neddamttocs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr4vitas Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Or you can go with a 9600xt, does real well for me and hl2 med to high med settings at 30-35 fps. and only about $85 US Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
