Hello,

I planning on buying a new graphics card, which chipset is the best and most widely supported for games nowadays. And any recommendations for a mid range budget?

Many Thanks
Glyn

The two main chip manufacturers are Nvidia which at present make the Geforce 4 that is widely used and then there is ATi, with there Radeon.

There are pros and cons to both Cards and its down really to personal preference. I have used both cards and I personally prefer ATi cards, I like them because of there utilities which make tweaking your card to suit your needs.

An Geforce or Radeon at no less than 64MB DDR Dedicated memory should be fine for anything.

If you are looking for a budget card, I suggest the ATI Radeon 8500LE. I have the 64MEG DDR RAM card, and its super. Clockspeed is 250, and with POwerstrip you can O/Clock to 275. My kids haven't found a game yet that doesn't run great, and they run everything with all options turned to highest and highest resolution the game supports. Retails around $75 at Newegg. Also check the prices on the 128MEG version.
