Will these cards play all games of 2009 at high settings with all effects on? also mention the current market price and source if possible. Thanx.
gaming is largly depend on what resolution and settings (graphic details).
if you are playing at 1024*768(15" & 17" monitor) , the card you need > ati 4670(4.2k),4770(6.5-8k),nvidia 9600gt(5k) ,
if you are playing at 1440*900 (19" monitor)- ideal card, ati 4850,4870.nvidia gts 250,9800gt(6.5k)
there are two category of games:
elite camp - oblivion ,Crysis,GTA IV -- > you need a very good processor (quad core) for get the best of our this game. Also a high end graphics card is required to play the game at high definition.Also you need 1gb gpu memory to play these texture heavy games to play at max settings.
generic camp- all other games comes into this category ( COD series, Racing games, POP,COJ etc) you can play these games with any mainstream graphics card (ati 4850,4770, nvidia gts 350,9800gt) or even entry level cards( ati 4670,nvidia 9600gt) and C2D process with 2gb of ddr2 ram(winxp)
Another one major aspect is power supply. Except ati 4670, all other cards needs a decent power supply unit which will cost you atleast 2.5k (gigabyte) to 3.3(corsair 400cx)

PS: as per your config, your cpu will be a major bottleneck for playing 2009 games at max settings. You can either go for complete system upgrade or wait for till the year end. Or you can just upgrade your psu and get an used 4850,9600gt or 4670 from TE market section
