Gaming on the Cheap
Have you ever tried to play Bioshock with onboard graphics? If you manage to get it to work, chances are good that even at the lowest quality settings its still going to be very choppy gameplay. Have you ever had the ability to kill a blade-wielding kid when all you see is various frames? Very freaking doubtful, and I challenge you to show me any other outcome other than defeat. The trouble is, graphics cards are expensive.
For the mid-level gamer who can't afford the cards that make other nerds wank themselves, there is the ATI Radeon RX2400 Pro. Offering high definition graphics and three video out options, the 2400 has the potential to kick some major ass... or at least keep yours gaming.
