I need to upgrade my graphics card in my PC to play WaW. Currently I have an ATI Radeon X1600 256MB and I need atleast a 512MB to let it run smoothly. Which video card should I buy? I see on TigerDirect.ca that there is a 1GB PCI-E for like $50 and a couple 512s... What do I need a PCI-E or an SLI or what?? I don't know much about video cards tbh.

If you wouldn't mind choosing one from here:

Or if you need more info just ask.

Thanks a million.

The Nvidia 9800GT 512mb will do fine, but make sure your computer's power supply can handle it.

Download and run CPU-Z, goto the Mainboard section and look under "Graphics Interface" and tell us if its PCI-E or AGP.

Because its PCI-E... but make sure your PSU can take it, but I should think an 8500 could.

I don't know how well COD:WaW would work on it though

You can also use 8800 512 at minimum.
