Really depends on:
- Native resolution on the monitor
- Other computer specs
- What you want to play

I'd recommend a 4850, they're powerful and cheap.

Its not that hard
Take your old card (If you have one) out and replace it with the new one
There's only 1 way it would fit in so dont push it to hard

Well, it will only fit into the correct slot, so you're safe there. However, the 4850 requires an external 6-pin power connector from your PSU, if you don't connect that it won't power up. If you don't have said connector, there should be an adapter that comes with the card. As long as you read the directions you should be good, it's nothing too complicated.

You guys are such dumbasses.
How the fuck can you guys give him advices when you guys don't
even know if he is using PCI-E.
Also you guys don't know what he want to play and what CPU and more.

Why would he need a 4850 if he wants to play Combat Arms? I can play that game on Intel GMA 3100.

Alright, guys. The ATI Radeon HD 4830, from say a hundred bucks.
The Radeon HD 4850 starts about fifty dollars higher.
And the 4830's not a bad card.
Get two for fifty dollars more than one 4850, and look. You're outperforming a GTX 280.
Which isn't to say that the OP is looking to go CF, just saying that it's totally worth it to get a 4830 for its price over a 4850.
