(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

HI GUY!
Well, its me agian, and I've been wondering is there any REALLY CHEAP GRAPHIC CARDS that can HANDLE and PLAY ALL THE LATEST GAMES!
Well Ive found one and I think its good :
SAPPHIRE Radeon X800GTO 100129FB FireBlade Edition Video Card - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16814102613
Any opinions?

That is a good card, providing you have enough power in the powersupply and stable rails.
350W to 400W is the recommended minimum.
And if you are to get a new PSU also?
Then get a 500W of good quality. Pretty useless, to upgrade a 300W PSU, for ex. to a 400W.
You can have an Antec PSU, 500W for 69 bucks at newegg.

If you want a really cheap gpu that can handle the latest games, then the 6600GT is your best bet, if you have the money, the X800GTO is the way to go, but if you want to save some money, then I would definitly recommend the 6600GT. This one here is $30 cheaper off the bat and $50 cheaper after the rebate, and it would perform about 75-90% as well as the X800GTO. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16814150098
plus the this one is not a power hog at all, so you won't need to upgrade your psu yet.

get the saphire gto2. its only a little bit more or maybe even the same price and can be flashed to x850 pe speeds.
Otherwise stay away from saphire as there tech support hasnt shown me and promise and the last 3 products i got from there didnt work properly (although fairly 2 of them were software problems).
6600gt is a decent card on the cheep also. but its more midrange than high range

Meh, it all depends on what kind of budget you have. I've got a 6600GT right now, and you can see my benchmarks for it below. It'll play most games well, but some of the newer games, (especially FEAR) will take a lot out of it, sometimes below playable speeds.
FEAR is generally playable with a few drops below the 30 FPS line, usually when there's a firefight. Battlefield 2 will run pretty well as long as your range does not exceed the Medium-Low Range. That will all depend on your other specs on your computer though. See below for my performance....
