I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
I am seeking an upgrade to perhaps a NVIDIA 8600 or 8800
I want to play games such as CoD4 and UT3 with more than bare minimal graphics settings and no goodies(what i can't do now)
my budget is $100-150, 150 stretching it

I plan on being at the lan tournament this weekend, so maybe if someone is upgrading there's as well we can make a deal there

Well I would seriously check out Tomshardware's new article they published this month about getting the best video card for your money then.

At least then you will be able to see what kinda goals you need to set as far as getting money for a new one. Don't expect alot for that video card however. You can get a new one for under $50. So you might have to settle for a Radeon 3850 256MB for ~$175. Granted I really don't want you owning me in COD4 on a faster computer

hey man check this out.

Its the card I want, good price and good performance

I like the looks of that list Nimda.... I might wait till summer to upgrade though, I was just checking in the case someone was upgrading and was selling or someone had some sort of sweet deal, or at least for Nimda to give me a _link_ to the list i read

well i have to say this EVGA 8800 GTS is doing me fine

thanks for trying to help me though
