Most modern video cards can deliver enough pixels to drive a mid-sized monitor (think widescreen 19- to 22-inch displays with a native resolution of 1680x1050) - at least until you sit down to play a high-end game. At that point, a PC equipped with a low-end video card turns into an expensive slideshow projector. Upgrading your system's video card is easy enough, but a high-end card that's capable of delivering just about any game at 60 frames per second at a given resolution-our minimum performance requirement-can cost $400 or more. And while it wasn't long ago that we'd never recommend a video card in the sub-$100 price range for serious gaming, PowerColor's Radeon HD 4670, which is street-priced at just $90, surprised us by coming close. This card has all the features you'd want for other applications too, including the capability to offload Blu-ray video-decoding chores from the host CPU.
