Best graphics card for TF2.

[Thinkto urself]

I'm tired of my crappy ATI X300-X500 Graphics card. I need a graphics card that is the same size as the ATI X300, but can run TF2 with; high-medium model detail, high quality shaders, 1024x768 (Orwuteveritwas) resolution, 2xmsaa AA, and run at 35 fps. Thanks.

Just get an 8800GT or something...

um try the 9600GT but, if you can fit something abit bigger, get an ATi 4850 (yea there good )
But they will play the game at 100fps +
If you don't want something that fast, well i dunno maybe get a 8400GT or a 8500GT?

I've got a Radeon HD 2600XT and it runs TF2 like a lubricated buttplug.

Why base your video card around TF2?
Why not just get a really decent all rounder one that will run most games on high detail?

Problem solved? Also try going into a computer outlet and getting advice from them.

8800gt or gts or 9800gt, gts or ultra ones. Or just get a HD4870 or HD4850. Why TF2 only? One game gets boring most of the time and you if wana play better ones,  just get a card that can play most games with maximized settings.

Okay.

Do you have a PCI-E X16 or an AGP slot on your motherboard?

Oh, and what's your price range?

[ace]

I am pretty sure he has PCI-E, because im also pretty sure that the ATi x300 is a PCI-E card.
You can get a really good card (ATi 4870) for around $300 AUD and the ATi 4850 for about $200 AUD

. . .
No, just no.

[marine b. harm]

get a voodoo2 that thing runs diablo 2 like a beauty

[Wormdundee]

I recommend the BFG Tech version of the 8800 GT, if you can, get the one with OCZ in its name as it will be factory overclocked

I paid 60 bucks for the shit card 8400GS 512 and TF2 runs great.

[Thinkto urself]

I paid 60 bucks for the shinyfoo card 8400GS 512 and TF2 runs great.

Holy shinyfoo, I just searched the card on youtube and it can run crysis! Is there a catch or something? Any special requirements?
Nevermind, need one that can run Anti Aliasing ._.

[The Philanthropist]

Nah, it's just the lowest end card that has DX10 capabilities. And what are you talking about, anti aliasing is just frilly shinyfoo that looks nice.

EDIT: The card also runs kinda hot.

[adam01526]

i use a radeon 9800xt it runs TF2 easily

HD 2600 XT

If you're buying a new gfx card you might as well put some more money into it. When you are tired of TF2 you won't be able to get much out of the newer games.
