A $99 Graphics Card Might Be All You Need

Vigile writes "With the release of AMD's latest budget graphics card, the Radeon HD 4770, the GPU giant is bringing a lot of technology to the table. The card sports the world's first 40nm GPU (beating out CPUs to a new process technology for the first time), GDDR5 memory, and 640 stream processors, all for under $100. What is even more interesting is that as PC gaming has evolved it appears that a $99 graphics card is all you really need to play the latest PC titles — as long as you are comfortable with a resolution of 1920x1200 or below. Since so few PC gamers have screens larger than that, could the world of high-end PC graphics simply go away?"

  1. would it give me 30+ fps by crazybit · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    on Crysis Wars running DX10 with "Good Graphics", AA 2x, 1280 x 1024?

    If it doesn't then I don't want it, I better use those 100$ + a few bux more for a used Xbox 360. Crysis is one of the few games that make PC gaming worthy, if it can't run it then it's worthless for gamers.
