A vital component of any PC, the graphics card is a key performance component, especially in respect to 3D games. Put simply, it is an expansion card in your PC that processes image data and outputs it to your monitor.
Graphics cards act as processing powerhouses, offloading from your CPU much of the hard work of calculating how scenes look, particularly in 3D graphics. Taking a 3D scene and rendering it to the screen takes an incredible amount of processing power. So much processing power, in fact, that the fastest graphics processors often have more transistors than mainstream CPUs, require fans to cool them and need direct links to power supplies.
A graphics card has multiple components: a graphics processor, or GPU; memory for graphics operations; a RAMDAC (more on RAMDAC later) for display output, and potentially other ancillary components to TV output and capture, SLI and the like.
2D or 3D: that is the question
A graphics card should be purchased in accordance with your needs. The simple rule is that all currently available graphics cards are up to snuff for 2D operations. If 2D is as far as you want to go, then you should look for a low-cost solution, perhaps even go for integrated graphics.
It's 3D graphics performance that really separates the wheat from the chaff. The performance of the graphics card will directly influence both the frame rate and image quality of 3D programs and games. There are huge differences between the low and high-end cards in this respect.

i bought a nvidia geforce
i bought a nvidia geforce 9600gts 512mb for 60$ on new egg. and i can run crisis smooth on all high graphics with above 33fps. and 8800gts for 250$ sounds high saying on new egg you can get a gtx 250 for 110$ and that would blow it out of the water
Cheap 3D Graphics cards
In January 2008 I bought a $55 Digital camera it was rubish . In March that year I bought a $150 Olympus Camera and it is worth every cent ....You get what you pay for .
Hi. If you dont know what a
Hi. If you dont know what a 'Graphics Driver' is, im pretty sure you dont know what constitutes a "Good Computer"...
You wont find a decent card to run high end games for less than $100.
Its a safe bet your PC has a PCI-Express slot that would house a graphics card. Buy an 8800GT card for around $250 and you will be fine for now.
Graphics Card for Games
I have no idea what to do. All my games run slowly on my computer even though I have a good computer. What is the best card for an ASUS to run the Arkham Asylum game. Also what is a Graphics Driver? I was on the NVIDIA Website and I downloaded a driver and it didn't change anything.
Also where can I buy a Card that is good quality but under $100?
Thanks

Need info before buying a graphics card
I want to buy a graphics card of 512MB for my computer. Please help me in selecting the best one for my system. My processor is AMD Athlon 3000+ and my motherboard is MSI RS482M2-IL. It has a PCI Express card slot in it. I have checked a few sites already. I am a little confused about selecting certain features of the card.
1. Some cards have a spec of DDR2 and others DDR3. My RAM slots in my motherboard are DDR. So not sure what it is for PCI-E slot.
2. Power supply required for the card. Do they required addtional power supply?
