yo all
i will tell you my system
E2220 cpu
2.40 GHz
4.00 gb ram
i have intel g33/g31 express chipest family and i have to get gt630 will it fit in my system?

 

[Side Swipe]

nah mom wont buy more than 3500 range only 620 is in this range and also can radeon hd 5450 sapphire 1gb ddr3 editon run f1 2010?

This YouTuber seems to have game play on the HD 5450 covered, https://www.youtube.com/user/GamingMasterBlaster/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=0
note that they play Assassin's Creed IV at 800x600p resolution.
I could find no videos of F1 2010 with either a 5450 or GT 620 but I did find a few of F1 2011 and 2012 (I don't know what that means, possibly a system requirement drop)
The GT 620 does seem to play AC3, examples here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajMYj0s3MLA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22sZprrBFwY

so youtube says that gta iv can run it
and i would love to play f1 2011 😀

 

[Side Swipe]

ik that 5450 can run f1 2010 but can my cpu run f1 2010?

 

[Side Swipe]

plz answer

 

[C12Friedman]

I could find nothing definitive there and I really can't say, your CPU is "fast" enough so if it doesn't work it's because of something other than processing speed.

 

[Side Swipe]

am not buying 5450 am buying the recommended gpu you told me about my computer expert selling on the original price and on flipkart.com its n/a ): so am trying on snapdeal

 

[Side Swipe]

theres n/a too ):
what to do?

 

[C12Friedman]

Keep at it, this is a time of year when a lot of graphics cards get sold out but then a lot of them go on sale, you may get lucky and find something on sale, just keep checking flipkart and snapdeal daily

 

[Side Swipe]

ok

 

[Side Swipe]

wait his makes some strange gpu and i have a slot on x16 will his radeon hd 6450 1gb ddr3 fits on my pc?it is the only 6450 available

 

[Side Swipe]

just checked my motherboard in the 2nd slot it says pci express x16 so can 6450 or 5450 fit on my motherboard also?

 

[C12Friedman]

HIS is a decent brand and yeah, any new graphics card will work in PCIe x16.
Consider your available area for the card, you want to make sure it isn't too long to fit your chassis

 

[Side Swipe]

thx c12, and do the "e" in "pcie" means express? (ik this is a question of noobs 😛)

 

[Side Swipe]

and can his 6450 can also fit in my motherboard (sorry for troubling you but i have to buy gta 4 and i have transformers 2 ans assassins creed which are not working can these 3 heavy games run on 6450?)

 

[C12Friedman]

Likely the best you can get, I'd say "go for it". Again though, it may be your processor that keeps those games from running at acceptable frame rates, you can always lower settings but no guarantees.

 

[Side Swipe]

well i just went to gd and i tested these games
transformers 2: cpu= yellow
gpu= green
ram=yellow
assassins creed:cpu= yellow
gpu= grey(low settings)
ram= yellow
gta 4: cpu=cannot run
gpu=cannot run
ram=yellow
so gd said this, can this be true?
and tf2 was realesed on 2009 and gta 4 on 2008 still gta 4 is a heavy game how???

 

[C12Friedman]

Sometimes I wonder about Game-Debate's requirement reporting but GTA 4 is a CPU intensive game which likely requires one (or more) of the instruction sets not found on the E2220. I went back to the RockStar site and checked, here's what I found... Your Pentium E2220 is faster than the minimum Rockstar says you need but (this is where it gets messed up) the minimum CPU is a Core 2 Duo which features a few technologies not found in the Pentium CPU (notably, virtualization)

 

[Side Swipe]

ok my cpu is ok for gta 4 but what about the gpu i dont see any video that can run gta 4 on 6450 and e2220 i saw a video that says e2220 cpu but gt 430 so is his 6450 is really ok for gta 4?

 

[C12Friedman]

RockStar says the minimum graphics is an ATI (AMD) X1900, here's how the HD6450 compares against the X1900. In virtually every category the HD6450 comes out on top EXCEPT memory, the X1900 has a 200MHz advantage over the HD6450 in memory speed, the memory bus is 198 bits wider (that is significant) and the memory bandwidth of the X1900 is more than double that of the HD6450 - it is reported that there is a noticeable difference in performance because of the ram found here http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=471&gid2=76&compare=radeon-hd-6450-vs-radeon-x1900-series
The GT430 is quite a bit better than both

 

[Side Swipe]

so means my pc is pefect for gta 4? yay! ok thx but i still dont know about f1 2010 maybe its heavy than gta 4

 

[Side Swipe]

HELP!!! today i purchased prince of persia the sands of time and it didnt worked on my old gpu (intel g33/g31 express chipset) what to do??? and is 5450 or 6450 perfect on it? NOTE: i asked game debate it said game works fine!!!

 

[C12Friedman]

There are people reporting the G31/G33 chipset doesn't work with Sands of Time, one possible solution I found that might work is to try running it in compatibility mod for windows XP. Try that, see where you get.
Prince of Persia, Warrior Within and also, The Two Thrones are reported to work on systems that don't seem to run Sands of Time (I really don't know what to make of that)

 

[Side Swipe]

so can radeon 6450 run it? and i should order warrior within and two thrones and also i have windows 8.1 not xp so what should i do?

 

[C12Friedman]

Compatibility mode is to make your Win 8.1 operating system act like it is an XP operating system, XP isn't really used. The issue you're having is related to graphics so the 6450 should make it work even if compatibility mode doesn't work (or if it does)
