Which graphics card should I buy for Black OPS?

[Nerd_01]

I just bought the game today, and to my surprise, its agonizingly slow. Even with reduced settings. My computer meets all requirements except the graphics card isn't good enough. Which one should I buy that is good for playing first-person shooter games? And which ones are best for the money?

[Assassin DIP]

IMO Anything better than the system requirements or at system requirements

@Assassin DIP

I want one that is a least a little bit better than the minimum requirement. Do you know which I could get?

What is your price range
?

[Skyline.]

here's a sample list of prices within your budget,
don't get anything under 1gb, and don't go under 560's or else it is a waste of money + won't be any good real soon, with upcoming titles.

$200-$300 = GTX560 Ti's
$300-$400 = GTX570's
$400-$500 = GTX580's

hmm post your pc specs

+ what kind of ram you have

well first set the minimum req, turn shadows off, etc.

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. Bang-for-buck wise, Nvidia 9800GT and GTX 460 seem to be popular choices.

If you're looking for one that's relatively cheap I'd go for an Nvidia Geforce 9800GT, one of the best bang-for-buck cards out there.

the nvidia GTX 480 is too a good one.

im playing with 8800 gts 640mb and im having all functions ON except antialiasing. 60-130 fps stable

This site is quite amazing. You can find the minimum required on the list and pick one above that.

I would just go for DX11 cards much worth it imo get like ATi 6770 or GTX 465 for only $200 range.

I have 4GB of RAM. I'll post the specs in a while. @lolbie

All my settings on lowest. I got about 3-5 FPS in Campaign or Multiplayer

Maybe I should just buy MW2 and play that... I just really feel like I should try to save my $60

Nevermind, I'm not buying a new graphics card. Way to fucking expensive. I could get a new lappy for the same price.

I think you should go for a ATI card, if u dont getting a GTX 480 or something better.. thats mo
