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: Operating System Microsoft Windows 7@Ultimate Edition@64bit@(build 7600) Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 925 Processor Number of Processors Logical Core Count 4 Physical Core Count 4 BIOS BIOS Date: 09/11/09 17:45:44 Ver: 5.03 Language English (Regional Setting: English) Physical Memory 8183.891MB Virtual Memory 2047.875MB Page File 20456.035MB Storage B:\ Hard Disk Drive Total Disk Space 0.098GB Free Disk Space 0.068GB Storage C:\ Hard Disk Drive Total Disk Space 920.123GB Free Disk Space 178.034GB Storage J:\ Hard Disk Drive Total Disk Space 931.511GB Free Disk Space 29.964GB DirectX Version DirectX 11 Graphic Device(s) ATI Radeon HD 4350 „¥Device \\.\DISPLAY7 „¥Chip ATI display adapter (0x954F) „¥Maker ATI Technologies Inc. „¥Video Memory 502.527 MB „¥Shared Video Memory 3067.500 MB „¥DAC Type Internal DAC(400MHz) „¥Display Mode 1280 x 1024 (32 bit) (60Hz) „¥Driver atiu9p64.dll,aticfx64.dll,atiu9pag,aticfx32,atiumd64.dll,atidxx64.dll,atiumdag,atidxx32,atiumdva,atiumd6a.cap,atitmm64.dll „¥Driver Version 8.14.0001.6099 „¥Driver Date 3/10/2010 10:33:10 PM „¥Driver Language English „¥Vertex Shader 3.0 „¥Pixel Shader 3.0 „¤Vertex Texture Supported Can you suggest a card for around 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.
