One thats lasted me 2 years now is the ATI Radeon 9600 PRO with 256mb DDR memory.

Great card, around Ã‚Â£85 GBP

Get a 7900GT, make it max res for your monitor and max graphic settings.

(That's the one I'm getting.)

well you need AGP?

my brother plays CSS with that 5200 in medium with an even higher resolution.

but i would recommend a geforce 6 series. if you wana go extreem get the 7800GS its expencive and it will the rest of the system would be bottlenecking it.

9600 isn't any better than the 5200
its virtually the same card

Seriously, just don't get the 7900gt, it still suffers from core crashes, a problem nVidia solved by releasing the next series of cards.

Get a 7950gx2 if you're getting a top end card, or a x1600pro if you're getting a middle end.

Got a 6800 GS too. Its a really good card imo.

Lag 'n' FPS drops are caused by HDD or CD/DVD problems often
