I have got every thing the latest drivers latest DirectX and I have also just had a new HDD put in Maxtor 40Gig 7200rpm but framerates are still not great so what decent gaming card do you recomend for R1000 not to much over R1300 at the most Okay here's some stats first: I borrowed my friends grap...

No wonder the zimdollar is in such a state. I said this is a low end graphics card (entry level same thing) should the meaning of low-end be explained..?? Since this card is based on the Geforce 2 card is about 2x times weaker then any other geforce 4 card. Reason being it is in fact a Geforce 2 bas...
