Sister's video card died today (an archaic gt 9500). Need Cheap options for a card that can run World of Warcraft and Skyrim at medium setting - $50-$60 Budget.

GO!

For $65, it says the best is a Radeon HD 6670 DDR3. It's JUST above your $60 limit at $70 . However, they all come with a $10 or $20 Mail-in Rebate, reducing the cost to $50-$60 sans S&H (which may or may not be free).

Best option: Gigabyte 6670 DDR3 for $70 plus $20 MIR, and free S&H.

Thats what I was looking at, but Might settle on this; http://www.microcenter.com/product/...adeon_HD_6570_2048MB_GDDR3_PCIe_21_Video_Card

Little less powerful, but the extra gb of memory would help out a bunch. Plus it can run BF3 on high at about 30fps, and skyrim isnt as demanding (in most cases)

Her processor is an Athlon II X3 3.2ghz and has 4bg of ddr3 ram

for that price range its a good pick, and your right the extra Gig of memory would be better for a lower end card plus you can always overclock it for a extra kick.
