the first one is a better card

I can get a card whichc an run it on low 30FPS at 1600x900
GT 430, forget YEAH!

You're handicapped, what game are you even speaking of?
I HAS CARD WHISH RUN MACSIMUM SETTIN ON 30 FPS ON 25000x25000. MINCRFT CUL GAEM GUOISE.



I run Battlefield on Ultra on over 30 FPS with an GTX 460 Palit Sonic Platinum edition; however that card costs $200.

Your point?

I am not sure what good card you could get under $70

for $60?

According to Google, yeah.

I think I'm gonna go with the Radeon HD 6870 for $170.
Good idea?

according to this, a radeon 6850 is a better deal as it's 15-20$ cheaper and performs a little bit better

but if you want to go bitcoin mining, the 6870 is better

I think I'll go with the Radeon 6850 then.

I would, but I think I've got my answer for what I want now.


By the way, like the previous post, it is recommended that you know your power supply before getting a new card, otherwise you might end up frying your New card or worse. To check the PSU supply open up your case and look for the stickers and labels on the side of it.

Stupid question: If I open up my case when the computer is on, will it turn off or something?

That too! People mess up their systems allot because of low wattage on their PSU's.

I would turn it off. Just in case something weird happens.

Well, if you do do it before he gets home, you might get lucky and see the manufacturers sticker facing outward from your case so you don't have to remove anything. 

taking the cover off your case won't do anything, if you wanted to you could mount everything in a computer to a wall
