Introduction

So that is it. You have finally had it with your old graphics card. You just bought that game that you have been wanting to play and now you're getting a whopping three frames per second. Now the question is where to start and how powerful a card you may want. Do you want a powerhouse that will sink your wallet? Or do you just want to step up a couple generations that will allow you to play your game in a decent frame rate?

Well, regardless of what kind of leap you want to make in technology, you are still looking at performance. You want to be able to play all the recent games and ones in the near future at good, if not great, frame rates. Not even the most casual gamer likes to see the frame rates dip on the game they are playing. It is very frustrating. If you play on line and you have a low FPS, it can affect your game severely. So you definitely want a graphics card that can tow the load that is your needs but not bankrupt you either.
