Well, not technical help but I need a question answered: Which video card is better for gaming: an ATI Radeon HD 4350, or an NVIDIA GeForce 9100? Edit: Whoops. Heh, don't mind the title. That little typo slipped by. [small] Little bugger.[/small]

My friend RAK is completely correct. Buying either right now would only ensure you spend more money sooner than you would like. When talking of video cards it is better to buy a decent quality card that will last for a good while, rather than buy an old card.

Neither card would count as particularly good for gaming. Both of them have severe limitations
Lets put it this way. My laptop here is 3 years old, and has a card superior to either of those cards. That's how limited you will be.

If I may make a suggestion for a more budget priced performance card, I would suggest the Radeon HD 5770, it's usually around $150, and is DX11 compatible. It's not the hottest or sexiest card on the market, but it's very reasonably priced and should keep you for a good while. If you need more horses than it's already impressive amount, just buy another and crossfire.

Even a Radeon 4870 would work pretty well to be honest, and it can be picked up on the cheap these days.

Well, actually, these cards were some that I already had. I was wondering if the other one would be better than the one in my comp right now. But I already ordered a much newer, much better card yesterday, so this poll pretty much doesn't matter. And my computer can run some pretty good games. WaW with all of it's particle riddled, flame broiled, explosion cluster-fuck-ey goodness. Crysis. And I know neither of those are relatively new, but they are relatively good looking. It just doesn't run those and other games quite as good as one would like, and not quite good enough to take advantage of my auto trigger. No, I don't mean a trigger bot either, I mean this: http://fps-rapidfire.weebly.com/ kind of auto trigger. Useful for pretty much everything you can think of and more. On a rather off topic note, combine that with an M9 and double tap, in CoD4, and you have a single MW2 glock with triple the power at the cost of more than half the clip size.

Ah, that's understandable. I guess the way you said it made me think you were looking at buying new. Good luck, and have fun fragging those fragging fraggers.
