    I'm on a slightly bad budget at the moment, but I am looking for a suggestion on a graphics card to run FF14. My roomie's computer can run it with a Radeon HD 4650 without any issues, but my HD 4350 can't run it on the lowest possible settings. Here are my specs:

    Can you suggest a card for around 80?

    You can get a 4650 for a lot less than 80

    A 5570 should be much faster than a 4650...but I would spend the extra $10 on a 5670; it is much faster, and still does not need any PSU upgrades.
