Hey CAG's, I was hoping I could get a recommendation for video cards. I currently have the ATI Radeon HD 3450 card that came with my computer. I just bought a couple of games from Steams holiday sale (Mass Effect & Bioshock), and both chug even at the lowest settings. I'm not very knowledgeable about what to look for in a video card, so I'm throwing myself at your mercy.
I'd basically like something that would let me play newer games without problems (max settings/resolution would be nice, but not necessary), along with some occasional Photoshop/3D modeling work. Ideal price range would be $100-$200. Any help/advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
PC Specs: (If needed)
AMD Phenom-9550 2.2 GHz QuadCore Processor
6 GB Ram DDR2
Win 7 64 bit
