    Help Upgrading my GFX Card

    Im not a very good Hardware Specialist.. Im most good at software.

    But anyways can some of you give me suggestions on which Graphics card to upgrade?

    My Current Graphics Card: 512mb GeForce 7300 LE
    Now I thought that since its 512mb it should be good... But for some reason I cant play ANY games with Anti-Aliasing.... I don't know why.

    or

    http://*******.com/3bxzqg
    Those are the ones I can upgrade. I have to buy it through dell so I can keep my current warranty.

    I also cant go out and buy myself one because I don't know anything about compatibility.

    Anyways Please help me. Money is not a problem I can pay for just about anything under $500

    Backseat modding just isn't your friend.

    Cody, make sure you've got the proper driver.

    Considering the market is pretty much owned by nVidia (GeForce) and ATi (Radeon) there isn't much competing they have to do to be one of the best. :p

    And sounds like you're looking for a PCI-e. Too bad it has to be from the dell site, you could've saved so much more money. :( So you only have 14 cards to choose from?

    I would have gone for a nice GeForce 8800, but that list is scarce of nVidia products, and I don't really like ATi, so I can't really help you chose from that link. :(

    wow that bites you have to get it from dell, :\ it would help if you posted your processor so we could determine if you would bottleneck your processor with a powerful gpu, but i would recommend the 7900GS (refurbished) its the most powerful video card i saw on there
