video card Is this a decent card?

[mrchetsteadman]

I know I've had a few of these threads about buying a new card but I've been so busy I havent had time to actually do it. I saw this card in Best Buy today and I was wondering if this was a good card for LIGHT gaming like Dues EX or whatever it's called and maybe some other games. Nothing serious tho.

Its a lower-mid end gaming card, not that great and likely overpriced at best buy, but for light gaming it would be fine.

I think it was $119.

Have you purchased it already? I don't mean to be a little direct, but the card is simply sub-par. You'll be much better off with shelling out a little extra cash, and getting the 6850 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908)

First off, the card you are looking at is MUCH cheaper on Newegg.

Secondly, if you want something closer to the $120 you just showed us, there's something like this

I literally chose that one because it was the first card I saw close to your budget. There are lots of others to choose from

wouldn't call and XFX 6570 sub-par, it will be fine for medium settings on 1360 x 768. and the game's called Deus Ex...anyway, wouldn't classify this as a gaming card, i'd start those off at the 6770 ideally, now that's a very nice card for the money.
