What Video Card do I have to get in order to run GTA4?

NOTE: Please Read ALL specifications of my current board before suggesting a card.



My ONLY real problem is that my card doesn't support Shader Model 3.0, only 2.0 thus I cannot run the game.



Here are my current specs.



Board:

ABIT IC7-MAX3 478 Intel 875P ATX Intel Motherboard

Current VC:

ATI 100-435002 Radeon 9800PRO 128MB 256-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X

Here are the two video cards that I am looking at:



ASUS AH3450/DI/512MD2(LP) Radeon HD 3450 512MB 64-bit DDR AGP 8X HDCP Ready

&

JATON 3DFORCE 6200-256 GeForce 6200 256MB 64-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814139007|||Frames Per Second will not be too good with Radeon HD 3450.

GeForce 6200 is less than minimum requirements.



I wouldn't spend too much on an AGP card. HD 4670 is tops and is around $100. The HD 4650 is about $60.



SAPPHIRE 288L Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit DDR2 AGP 8X HDCP Ready Video Card

System Requirements 400 Watt or greater power supply is recommended

Power Connector 6 Pin|||You'll be hard pressed to get a video card for that board that can support the required video card.



You'll have to upgrade your motherboard as well, which means new CPU, possibly new ram...
