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?
 
Solution
The question we have here is if your motherboard features a PCIe x16 slot. While the chipset itself does support PCIe x16, it is not a "given" that the manufacturer included that slot on the motherboard.
I'll suggest downloading and running SPECCY https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download (the free version works for this) which will tell you all of your hardware including motherboard model (very helpful to us).

If it turns out that you do have a PCIe x16 slot available on your motherboard, the Forsa GT630 should work
k i will be fine with gta 4, sadly can not play f1 2010 or any f1 game (minimum requirements are NA)still not sure that i can run ac fine with transformers 2 not sure with POP sot and i will be buying SUPERSTAR RACING V8
 
ok gt610 will be fine for me gd says this gpu cannot run ac 1??? and cannot run gta 4??? (GD truely a liar)
and you are smarter than my own computer specialist, also can gt 210 is okay for gta 4, ac1, tf 2, and for POP sands of time
(thx for the answers)
 


We already determined that I thought

As far as when and where to look, I can't really say. I tend to use Flipkart for price reference in India and because they seem to have the biggest selection for components but I have no experience with either.
What I do in your situation is start watching prices, they can be volatile and every once in a while you catch an excellent deal. I'd personally watch 6450's for a price drop where it becomes affordable* but if not wanting to wait...

* I'd personally expect that to happen soon but I have been wrong about that in past situations (I tend to make purchases at the wrong time so...)
 
ok, but still when i looked at prince of persia sands of time work on my gpu it said low settings and when i purchased it, it did not worked so when i purchase 6450, if the same thing happens to ac?(my mom will never buy me another gpu after)
 
You're probably needing to lower your display settings before attempting to load those games, take your resolution down to (maybe even) as far as 800x600 to get playable performance - YouTube vids abound with acceptable game play on a 6450 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=e2200+6450+gaming (while all seem to have 6450's the CPU's do vary and that can have an impact on some games). Your CPU is partially to blame here as it is considered the minimal to use for gaming. This chart shows how your CPU compares with other "gaming" CPU's http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html it may be helpful when comparing game play from YouTube and attempting to extrapolate useful information from that (as far as what you can expect)
 
A GOOD NEWS AND A BAD NEWS!!! I DONT WANT GTA 4 IS GOOD NEWS AND I WANT TO KNOW THAT 5450 RUN MY OTHER GAMES WHICH ARE VERY LIGHT (AC, TF2 AND POP SOT) PLZ TELL ME IN EASY LANGUAGE THAT 5450 CAN RUN THESE 3 GAMES (BAD NEWS IS THAT AM CANCELLING 6450 AS ITS N/A)
 
Sorry for the delay, been dealing with PC issues of my own
You will be able to do some gaming with the 5450, light games will all work. I'll suggest looking at "Game Optimization Guides" which will give options for improving performance during gaming. You want the PC dedicated to gaming performance while gaming so a guide will explain things that'll use resources that can otherwise be used
 
oh hey i heard that 210 works 5% less than 5450 but it can run all my 3 low games so why should i buy 5450? for future? and i came to know my socket 775 LGA so can Intel 3 GHz LGA 775 Core 2 Duo E8400 Processor fit in my socket???
