I used to think most vid cards were shit when I was reading the benchmarks on sites, and I was more discouraged when I see that the ones in my hypothetical budget are absolute shit when running stuff like COD4.

Then I read those are tested in Ultra High settings in 1920x1080 or some shit like that. My monitor only goes to 1366x768. And I don't even need them to run in Ultra High. I think I'll go for a 4350 and another GB of RAM, my PC looks decent anyway...
