Hi, Im fairly new to video cards and I want to be able to run games like "World In conflict" and "Crysis." I know I need a PCI compatible video card but Im not sure which one to get. Im looking for a price range of $60-$120 and I'm hoping to find one on sale at Best Buy or Circuit City one of these days and I also want to be sure it will be able to run on my computer...Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I run an: T3958 eMachines D845GVSR Motherboard

Thanks,
Mark

Best to look up those games on the web and read their requirements/recommendations then choose a card accordingly..

no PCI cards can run crysis - you would need a pci express one - doe your pc have pci express?

also crysis needs a very good pc and card, $120 wont be enough. you would be talking ~$300 - ~$500

looks like that board has onboard intel video,no pci-e or even AGP slot .
time for a new gaming computer,I think , if thats what you want to use your computer for .

no he cant because:

buy a new pc.

I need to agree with Bennet here, there is no upgrade possibility on your mainboard (except replacing your mainboard)

If you are thinking of a new computer always get SLi possibility on your mainboard for games like Crysis... I have had a 8600GT card... but 1 wasn't enough to have normal gameplay experience... now since 2 weeks I have the Nvidia 9600GT in SLi and now I can run it!!!

I play Crysis just fine thank you. My MoBo is pci and my graphics card cost about $140. Granted getting a 8000 series would improve things a lot - I do get some stuttering when I am cloaked and in the middle of an NKA squad but I generally snipe (also, I don't play on-line -- I barely have enough time in my life for what I do now, I don't think I could handle learning team tactics). I am at the upper limit of what my machine can do -- I put it together to play half-life 2, then found FarCry and am now playing Crysis and F.E.A.R.

what card do you have?

my radeon x1950 pro 512mb pci-express barely runs crysis on low

I have a G-force 7300GT/512meg AGP -- I would fire up Crysis to check on settings but right now I am having a crisis of my own, my dvd player will see my XP disk but won't see any of my game disks (&^$)(&*(&^&^$%) - er, darn. If I can't solve this, I will probably post in the storage area.

its the copy protection

you either have a) a blacklisted application installed (some .iso tools ad burning softwre)
b) your drive is not supported

my drive in my dell doesnt read COD4 or C&C3 so i had to buy a new one
