Well, it's really only GTA and HL2 mod Dystopia that lag. I've got 2gb of DDR 400 Corsair RAM so it's not that. I, and a few people I've talked with at school, think it's the card's overclocking that's the problem, but I can't get it to stay underclocked (it was factory overclocked). Those two games seem more graphically intense than others I play (except for D3). It also doesn't help that rooms at my school are insanely dusty and the computer is constantly inhaling it all; there's no way to avoid it. But, even when I clean out the computer, it doesn't help much. Though, it could be as simple as my case doesn't have good enough airflow. I'm tempted to get a new case to fix this as well as give me more room, but the only one that I'm interested in has four side-mounted 12mm fans, which means that if they're intake fans then it'd more than quadruple the dust intake.
Oh, forgot to ask, would one of these cards include a TV tuner? If it wasn't under $200 with the tuner, that'd be fine
