I presently have a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 1 GB RAM, 3 1/2 years old. Nvidia has tried to update the drivers for better game play and was unable to install anymore drivers because the video card does not support anymore upgrades. So I want to get a new card.

Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't have the money for a real good one but something that is better than what I got.

Thank you

Try searching around on newegg.com or microcenter.com they usually have budget cards that are completable at a fairly good price that's how i have my current one and plays battlefield 4 to my standard. and yet only at $140. :)

I personally would go down the AMD route.....I have owned both and am currently running a Nvidia GTX6660ti...which is quite good ...but the drivers from nvidia come in thick and fast and you take pot luck if they will actually work...

What is your budget?  I'm most likely going to buy this one for just under $350 that will do pretty much anything I would want it to.  Only better cards out there are a titan, 7990, R9 290 and 780/780ti.  Very solid considering it's about half the price of some of many high end cards.  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130921

 

 

If you want to keep it under $200, I'd take a look GTX 660 or AMD7870.  Actually if you use Paypal, I'd be willing to sell you my EVGA GTX660 as soon as I get my new one in the next week or two (see link).  Got it about 9 months ago.  It is used 9 months, plays BF3 on high and BF4 on medium to low depending on your cooling in your case.  PM me if you'd be interested as it is literally going into my computer cache of parts otherwise.  :)
