Well, I plan on getting a good graphic card, and not go over 100 canadian dollars. Here are my spec Pentium 4 3.1gh, AIBT Motherboard ISV-V2 Prescott CPU ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 7200 (Don't laught at me, this is why I wanna upgrade) 512mbs of DDR rams I think that's everything you need to know pretty much. Also, just check out www.tigerdirect.ca all the prices are in candian dollars so you don't have to change from US$ to CA$. What I really want would be a good graphic card where I can run pretty much every game without having some major lags (I know rams take place here too, but that's the next thing I will upgrade). Basically, playing F.E.A.R. without having 30 fps or something like that . Give me some suggestions, that'd be really nice of you =0
100 CAN = about $90 USA ... you cant really buy a very good video card for that much. For about $150, you can get a decent video card and then overclock it. Also, do you have PCI-Express or AGP? You might also want to invest in buying another 512mb stick of RAM for your computer ... 512mb wont cut it for F.E.A.R. If you have PCI-Express ... here are some close to your budget: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814131007 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814150130 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130261 I suggest just saving up a little more money and buying one that will last a little bit longer.
well, with only 512mb ram, idk how you will do for FEAR.. And yea, your not gonna get much for -100 CA$ I think one of these: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...&Tab=0&NoMapp=0 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...1446526&CatId=0 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...1906428&CatId=0 It's agp
Well ... then ... if it's AGP ... you really can't get a card that will run F.E.A.R. for under $100 ... just save your money and buy a better one.
I was jsut saying F.E.A.R. as a random game. I'm more into Counter-Strike 1.6 actually and can run it without a problem. I'm just saying I'd like a whole computer with a good based engine, with some great specs. I'd like to be able to run pretty much any game without having to worry about my specs. Anyway, as I said, after upgrading my GFX card, my RAMs are next. I don't wanna go over 100 bucks cause shipping cost alot. Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated.
Do you have AGP or PCI-Express though? Just check some cards out on eBay ... im sure there cheaper on there
Erm, FEAR with a 100$ card wont do too well. I get good graphics but at one time, I had problem with a top of the line card on FEAR. So, I suggest you save up a bit more on that one.
you will need mroe ram, your GFX card is most likely AGP run CPU-z though and we'll make recomendations.
get an x800GTO by SAPPHIRE just got it today and im amazed at this card i play FEAR on maxed everything with out lag and same will BF2 AGP link - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102609 Or this one (its cheaper) i got top one - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814131010
To WFC: Thats what his board supports.. To computer kid: Thats a lie, wont play Fear maxed out..unless you play at like 640x480 res xD it's a good card, but not that good.. It can do BF2 maxed however, at 1280x1024 fine. of course, I dont think newegg is an option for him
