XFX ATI Radeon HD 4850 1 GB DDR3 2DVI/HDTV PCI-Express Video Card HD485XZDFC

This graphics card (GC) is totally worth the money invested, it is in the higher end of the ATI GC series out right now, the all new 4800 series. The only misleading thing about the description about the GC is that it takes up 2 whole slots vs. only 1. The fan built onto it takes up more space then it should, but the up side is that it keeps this thing running cool, smooth, and puring like a kitten. It is a little big, so if your gonna be putting it into a pre-fab comp, be careful and make sure you got the room for it to fit, check your dimensions and so forth.

My previous card was Radeon X1050. It played Oblivion decently at really low settings. I eventually needed a better card to run Street Fighter 4. This card runs both of those, and also Fallout 3, at pretty high settings. I recommend it if you want to play your games without being an elitist snob for superfluous eye candy.

Jade Empire and Tomb Raider (yes, I play that!) Anniversary no longer work. It's probably a simple fix by either updating the driver, or patching those games. I don't care enough to try. I think I should add that I have to turn the levels off in SF4 if I want to play online at a reasonable speed, though I blame my cheap single core (ouch) processor.

Very easy to install and no crashing. Still having some issues with high graphic games, but those issues are few and far between. All over good card!
