Hi all,
Can someone please tell me if its my graphics card that is holding back the speed of my PC.
On paper i thought it should fly.
Windows 7 64 Bit
AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad core Processor 3.60GHz overclocked to 4.00GHz
RAM 16.0 GB
Hard drive 1.8 TB
Very grateful if it is the problem if a better budget graphics could be advised.
 
Yes it is your GPU that is holding you back. The 3000 series GPU that is built into your FX chip is VERY low end, and will only be useable for older games and video playback. You need to look into a standalone GPU. What is your budget for a new one, and what make and model power supply do you have?
 
Hi all
Thanks for the quick responses.
I'm not sure what power supply i have.
Was only thinking of sub £90 for a GPU as its not used for gaming.
Is it advisable to upgrade power supply also then?
