Integrated Graphics Cards

My mother is getting a new PC next month.... The most I would possibly spend on a GFX card is $100... maybe $120...

any ones around that price that can run FFXI good?

if not... well *sits on butt and waits for Ps2 version*

yup, you can find many. but most people believe its the GFX card that does all for what your doing playing games. When really its your processor CPU that dertermines what you can handle. The graphics card does more of the special effects and lighting, and shaders, and textures. things like that. GFX card makes it look pretty. CPU is what runs it really.

You can find a decent video card for around $100. If you can, search around eBay. If you want a basic GeForce FX, you can get a 5200 for like $60-$70.

a radeon would prolly do a lot better and last longer then an FX, even tho i GREATLY prever nvidia drivers over ati's

I wasn't trying to endorse nvidia. I prefer ati.It's just that if your looking for a cheaper card that can play a good amount of hte games out, an FX could be fine. Or just get an ati if you have the money.

thats what i was saying tho. the ATI's are usually cheaper then the FX brand from nvidia
