After realizing my videocard/graphic is a piece of ____. I've decided to get a new video card. So I am wondering what is a good video card to buy. I want it to be good but cheap. Not over $100. So are used video cards anygood and should i buy from ebay or something? If you have any good ones that are good for gaming and what not please post the link. ~Thanks

Getting components from ebay does not guarantee warranty protection for the item (except for XFX DLW, or if you're buying from a major vender on ebay) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102770 The 4850 is a great choice if you have a 6-pin power connector and a capable power supply

Well pretty much if you're buying from individual people, its their discretion for returns. (most likely no, lol..) Whats the model number of your computer?
