    I want to get a better graphics card for the newer games that are coming out.

    My price range is about 100$ maybe 125$, willing to spend more but depends what it can run and how long before I have to get another.

    I saw this but 300$ is a lot.
    Visiontek 900352 Radeon HD 6950 Video Card 2GB, GDDR5, PCIe 2.1, mini-Display Port, HDMI, Dual DVI at TigerDirect.com

    I currently have a ATI Radeon HD 5670.
    I can run skyrim on medium and crysis2 on ultra.

    I want to be able to run skyrim on ultra with the hd texture pack.

    $100 isn't going to get you much, unfortunately.

    $100 isn't going to get you anywhere to achieve that, unless you can find a 560ti or 6950 on sale somewhere.

    Yes I agree that a nvidia gtx 550ti is your best bet for that price. Don't expect max setting for that sort of price.

    If you stretch your budget or save for a couple of weeks get a gtx 560ti. Its a lot better and can player most games with ultimate/max. Same applies for the radeon 6970. Wich are around £170-190

    Save your money til you can buy a 560 or something, it's not worth upgrading if you only have 100$ to spend. You wont get much better then what you already have.

    Skyrim really isn't very GPU intensive, and it also depends a lot on resolution.

    But a 550Ti is still a decent card.
