Hi,

As per title i need budget graphic card for my system, my budget is very limited,
My specs are,
Intel G620
Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H
Corsair 430 PSU
Dell IN2030M (20 inch)

I am not a frequent gamer, but i can play on monthly twice or thrice.
I am interested in some racing games like NFS and shooting games in medium resolution. (Definitely Not low res.)

Any recommendations?

Regards
Jaleel

Both the graphic cards suggested above are good, but getting the one with a DDR5 memory will speed up ur gameplay and will help in long run...

5570 1 GB DDR3 - Flipkart - 3352/-

The 5670 1 GB DDR5 model is costly on Flipkart so didnt post the link.

My Suggestion : HD 5670 1 GB DDR5

I suggest you get at least this : Sapphire Radeon HD5670 1GB DDR5 PCI-E 2.0 Graphics Card

Sapphire HD 5670 1GB DDR5 @4.7K

Try to convince your parents about your purchase as this is the most VFM card at this price point.

i have played bf3 on 5570 @ 1440*900 with medium detail at 15-23 fps . So better buy 5670 if you wanna play bf3 . But 5570 is fine for low-mid gaming

Define acceptable along with the resolution you wish to play.
