I got some money for my birthday and I was looking to get a new graphics card for my computer. Does anyone know some good graphics cards for under 100$?

Thanks a lot! :smallbiggrin:

That is a pretty good list to go by. They update every month.

Depending what you have for a power supply could effect your choices too. Some cards at the same basic price point are going to require more power then other cards, so if you don't have a lot of extra power to spare from your supply you might want to look specifically for a lower power usage card.

Well, also:

What graphics card slot have you got? If it's an old machine it might be AGP, and you'll struggle to find anything to fit that.

Also, what graphics card do you currently have? $100 isn't a lot and you might not be able to get something much better than your existing setup!
