    Basically I want a graphics card that I can play SSF4 Arcade Edition on Medium settings with at 1360x768 (my native res). Presently I have to have everything on low/off and 800x600 in order to maintain 50fps. It's kind of sad.

    My specs
    OS: Windows 7 x64 SP1
    CPU: i3 530 (2.93GHz, 2933 Mhz, 2 Cores, 4 Logical Processors)
    RAM: 8GB DDR3
    Motherboard: ASUS P7H55M Pro
    Expansion slots: 1 PCI Express x16, 1 PCI Express x1, 2 PCI (all of them are free)
    Display Adapter: built into the processor/motherboard (Intel HD Graphics)

    Hey Supa,

    You may want to read the replies from others on my Graphics Card topic, it offers good suggestions: http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=2554

    About the card itself, I just got a brand new ATI Radeon HD 5670 PCI Express 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card graphics card that I got on eBay for $55. But I haven't actually used it yet though, because I need an DVI male to VGA female adapter, which I bought online and I expect it to come tomorrow at the soonest.

    Your CPU may bottleneck performance. This might be the best card for the CPU you have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...0-187-_-Product
