What's a good cheap video card for need for speed hot pursuit 2010?

Alright, so before I start here's my specs



AMD X2 6000 3.0ghz

4gb ddr2

PCI 7600 GT 256 MB

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit



When I originally built this rig, i hadn't planned on gaming too much, but then got my hands on a copy of Guitar hero.. so i hopped on craigslist and got the 7600 GT for $20.00 Now I am able to play NFS Hot pursuit 2010, but it lags a little even at lowest video settings ( i know piece of sh*t card..) so.. Any suggestions on a good cheap card for NFS 2010?



Thanks|||Recommended video hardware is 7800/X1800 or better. So that would mean:



ATI: 3850 4670

nVidia: GT240 9600GT



The 3850 is available for $50. The 4670 for $70. The 9600GT for $45. The GT240 for $80.



All of these exceed the recommended video hardware for Call of Duty 4. But I'd recommend investing more like $100 minimum if you're planning to use the machine for gaming.|||PCI cards are so out of date that i don't think newegg sells them any more. [that is a PCI card, not a PCI-e card, right?]



go to tom's hardware guide on the web and find their charts on graphics cards. look for the card you have [7600 GT] ... everything above it in the charts will likely do better, but you probably need at least 30% better to notice any improvement.



keep that window open and troll craigslist, etc. for something like an 8600 GT in the PCI mounting. maybe you'll get lucky.|||I was just googling and came across this product hope it helps you
