So I have this graphics card, and I'm envious for SH5...

[Mauser KAR98K]

Please help me, fellow commanders.

Didn't research a new graphics card and wound up with a GeForce 512MB 8400 last year! Needless to say not even SHIV runs well with this. I'm running a low end Dell 546, with a Dual Athlon X2-64, Vista, and 4 Gigs of RAM at 2.7 ghz. I have all the storage that I need, but I'm at a loss for what card I can run without freaking out my folks about current college expenses. Let's just say I'm in the $120 range.

I want to run SH5 at a good resolution and frame rates, but not sure what to run it with (plus a few more other games and stuff). The in-game shots you all have been posting are just unreal and I want some of that.

Thanks.

No, as Im in Europe and know the prices here.
However, I do know that its good value for the price, so if this card didnt fit - the 5750 might

NO what? listen dear fellow, just checked overclockers one of the cheapest pc suppliers in uk and at the moment sapphire ati 5750 is £119.99 including vat (pounds only) not dollars, and 5770 £133.99 now perhaps there are more on this forum better qualified than i at currency convertion as i have not checked, but iam sure this wont be in mauser $120.00 bracket. For a (new) GPU. If you can post an advert for the brand new 5770 for 120 dollars then i shall stand down. In my humble opinion mauser should up to 150 dollars and aim for the smaller 5750 card. Further more if it had not been for the sh5 mention on thread title, i would request this thread be moved to pc hardware forum.

I do know that you CANT directly convert the price in £ to a price in $. It does not work like that. So to get the price for the 5750 or 5770 you must check an actual dealer in the US...
