looking for the best gfx card i can get for $100 max, link appreciated, i want to be able to run cod4 steady 125fps at least

PCI-e

$100 are you serious? Even a 6850 is $199. Heck you can't even buy a 5770, a card older then my grandmother.

Not everyone has the money to spend on gfx cards, there are a few budget ones out there for 100 or under

and the budget ones wont run anything except being good for display ports lol

you are better off buying something second hand for $100 thats actually usable

4850 / 4870s should be going for about $100?

nah might not buy a second hand
once i did and cod4 didnt even run :S

i have a second hand 5770 if you like that for $100, you live in WA so thats a +1, depending if you live near the city or not i guess. pm if you like the offer. ( you can even bring it back i suppose if cod4 doesnt run on it, but it should and 125fps is easily achievable with 5770s )

Hi Venom, what CPU & motherboard do you have?

ill sell you my 4870 with thermaltake dual orb for $101
Card runs good. Card has never been oc'd

Edited once, 16/5/11 - 6:03pm.

I held 125 easy with an E4300 @ 1.8GHz with a 8600GT or 9800GTX+ (5 fps performance increase due to bottleneck)

If you don't want second hand, the two I posted will hold 125 at max resolution.

Bilbin, it depends what resolution OP wants to run it at as well.

Less than $100 for $4870. Your computer should handle it OK, not sure about your power supply though :| I think it's about 550W safe, 450W minimum (rails rails, yes yes, whatever)

so u sayin the ones u posted are great for my PC specs?

yeh i got a 550 W power supply(lmao i was gonna buy a 800 W power supply, thought 550 W isnt enough)
