Well i need a new card to play Empire Earth at a decent resolution and seeing as the people here have been really helpful before i thought i'd ask.

I will mainly be using it for RTS games such as Age of Mythology when its out and Empire Earth so it must be able to handle them. I have been told they are more demanding then previous RTS games :(

I have two options:
1. to spend anything up to £100
2. to spend anything up to £50
can anyone recommend some good ones for that?
cheers

well its about $140 and about $70 ;) but remember over here it costs more so $140 is not really £100, but assume it is :)

for under 70 i would go with a Radeon32mbDDR, and for under 140 i would go with a Gainward geforce2Ti.....

If you know w[H]ere to look, you can find a good deal every now and again on a used card...

For RTS games I'd recommend the Radeon 32mb DDR.

If your planning to play both RTS and some heavy 3D games you might wanna look at a Ti for some more cash, thry'll give you more FPS.
