Best Nvidia GPU for me

[bsahlin393]

Hey guys, Looking into replacing my current GPU, because its loud and frankly just getting old. I need a GPU that can run GTA 4 on High. Of course it must be NVidia... Also must be under $100... Preferably 75...

Specs:
Mobo: Intel DG45ID
CPU: Intel core 2 Extreme 2.6 GHz
PSU: Some 650w PSU... Lol
MEmory: 16gb DDR2 (YEa, Screw you)

maybe a GTX 470? can usually find them for around $100. For the 75 range GTX 460

Best nVidia card in your price range is the GT 630. For the same price a Radeon 6670 is faster, but with your CPU and the game you want to play, that won't matter much. A GT630 will work for you just fine if you only want an nVidia card.

To get faster cards for the same price like the 460 in the above post you have to either get a used card or find someone with a new one they will sell for used price. Either case, your CPU will hold the card back and so will the game.

Thanks, But i forgot to put in the specs, I actully have 2 Intel Core 2 Extreme 2.6 Ghz... I know, I wasn't thinking... Lol. As of now I run GTA on High, I just want to keep it that way. I haven't yet run into a game I can't max out with over 40+ FPS. I just need a less dated card... Thanks

agreed get a GT630 or probably a 640 if u get it cheap, also that "some 650W PSU" is a problem

Hi,

With the cpu you have you won't be able to run GTA 4 on high, maybe at medium on 1280 X 720.
But you will still have some hickups.

GTA 4 is badly coded for pc, and has a lot of problems

Ummm, I run it fine right now. The Intel Core 2 Extreme is not a bad CPU. It is just outdated. I haven't run into a game that I can't run on high yet.
Plus it has been proven to be equal to the X4 Phenom II AND runs games just aswel as my other PC which has an i7 and a 660
