What is the better graphics card for gaming?

I'm thinking about buying a desktop and the couple of desktops that I am looking at have the ATI Radeon 4350, GeForce g220, GeForce 315, gt240, 9500gt, or the GeForce gt220. Which one is better for gaming?|||I would suggest to buy Nvidia geforce Graphics card

Also check out at ebay there are many good reatilers selling this product at good price

GT 240 : 773

GT 220 : 449

9500 GT : 358

315 : 304

HD 4350 : 228



So obviously the GT240 is best, but still a relatively weak gamingcard.



Here's a review of a card based on the GT 240 chipset:

PS: if you are going to buy a new desktop that has a dedicated graphical card, chances are you wil buy a graphically underpowered system. Most new desktops are graphically weak, so better buy a cheaper desktop without dedicated gaphics and upgrade the powersupply and graphical card yourself.|||Tom's Hardware offers a fairly good "hierarchy chart" of graphics cards, giving a general overview of what's best:

(this is of July 2010)

Consult the hierarchy, and also look up card reviews and detailed specifications on the manufacturers' websites.



According to the hierarchy, the cards are, from worst to best,

Radeon 4350, 9500 GT, GT 220, GT 240 (unfortunately I couldn't find 315 on there)



None of these cards I'd recommend for a gaming setup. They are all fairly low to low-mid grade graphics cards.



If you want something more for gaming, then getting a card like a GTS 250, or HD 5770, or at the very least a 9800 GT will be a much better card offering much more performance and quality in gaming.
