bloa2 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Here is the specs of my current card, not sure what the FPS is like on that it was quite slow but could anyone estimate how much, i'm unless at trying to figure out FPS. Card name: Intel® G45/G43 Express ChipsetManufacturer: Intel CorporationChip type: Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset FamilyDAC type: InternalDisplay Memory: 1422 MBDedicated Memory: 32 MBShared Memory: 1390 MBCurrent Mode: 1366 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor So, that's my current card and i want to get a new one as my birthday is coming up soon, i want one that just does the job, nothing fancy just want it so that it does lag so horribly bad. Also, i'm tyring to find one as cheap as possible, so max £50 please. Thanks, Bloa2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_frost_ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 what kind of graphics-interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloa2 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Erhhh, I'm not sure, don't i just need a graphics card that goes in my PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_frost_ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 but it's important - current graphics-cards are with "pci-express"-interface. previous cards are "agp" and even older are "pci"- what's the name of your motherboard? (you can see this information in the bios or with a tool like cpu-z 'http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloa2 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 This is DxDiag file and you mentioned PCI a lot in your last post and it cam up multiple times in this, are any of these the motherboard? Also my PC isn't even a year old yet, so quite new. --------------System Devices-------------- Name: PCI Express standard Root PortDevice ID:

_frost_ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 k - if your motherboard is a new one then it's pci-express. i suggest you to buy the 4650 (ATI) or something like that. it's cheap and it needs no additional power-supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloa2 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ok, thanks, i'll have a look at that now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_frost_ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) k :). P.S. the ATI4670 doesn't need additional power-supply toobye :) ATI4670 should be your first choice - but i don't know how much it cost in British pounds.

bloa2 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) ATI4670 costs about £70-£80. I also think it will need more power as mine at the moment is only 350W but it recommends on the website for 400W. This isn't going to be as cheap as i planned...

_frost_ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 then try ATI4650 - but it's explicit weaker than the 4670. i didn't expect that it cost so much compared with Euro prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
