DaisukeJP Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 definitely upgrade your GPU The 9500GT is pretty old now, i've used a 9800GTX+ for a long time. I got a XFX HD6950 2GB Unlocked shaders versionit runs everything on 1080p on max settings with 60fps even Crysis 2 I'd recommend this card or a Nvidia GTX 560 ti 448 cores edition they are maybe on a pricey side, but they outperform almost every single card in it's price range and a bit higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadcrumbs11 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 thanks for your response. uhmm can you suggest much cheaper card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisukeJP Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 HD 6800 series <--- work also great.. a friend of mine got it. GeForce GTX 460/480's work also great. if you go below that, u might have low FPS problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendruck Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) I recommend you to get a 6950 like Daisuke said but an AMD 6850 will run this game just fine for only 120 euro. But if I were you I'd spend more so your GPU will last a little longer. Your CPU could use an upgrade too. edit: ninjad Edited April 14, 2012 by Hendruck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadcrumbs11 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 for now i can upgrade one of those only, its either gpu or cpu, so i'll go upgrading my gpu first.. my brother is offering his radeon hd 5670 1gb ddr5 for $50 does it worth it?
