I want to give a boost to a core 2 duo pc. for basic use with corel draw. So, any cheap video card? I was thinking this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-XFX-R7-240A-CLF2-RADEON-R7-240-2GB-128-BIT-DDR3-PCIe-3-0-LOW-PROFILE-VIDEO-/371327978010?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5674df4a1a

But is ddr3, I dont know if that is bad for corel (I just know a little of graphic card but for gaming).

The PC is a core 2 duo, 2gb RAM. but I will put more ram, and maybe another PSU if the video card required.

The second problem.

I'm going to build another one, for basic design with corel too. I was thinking about the AMD APU processor because has video card graphic integrated. What is the most cheapest and recommended AMD APU processor?

Thank in advance. any extra suggestion is welcome 😀

I


Even so I don't think an APU for rendering is better then what I said, but that amd a10 7850k is a beast apu.

GTX 750 Ti. Low power usage, decent price, and still in the game of gaming.

The amd A10 newest versions are good, because they have a pretty beast APU.

Ok, for the GTX 750 Ti wich is the best? (zotac, evga, etc) I dont know anything about nvidia. I was thinking AMD because are more cheap. The A10 is cheap? or the A8 is ok? Is for someone that dont want to invest too much.

They are all essentially the same chip for gpu's. Zotac are supposed to be really good and EVGA; however these differences are going to be rather small between card to card. Just get a good cheap one: EVGA, Zotac, MSI, asus, sapphire, and gigabyte.

That would cost about $150 for it, but getting a $50-$60 pentium and an amd r7 gtx 260x/ gtx 750 would be a much better combo for gaming by far and almost the same price.

I choose answer for accident, sorry.

Ok Iwill choose the A10 for the new computer. But for the old one. A budget graphic card, ddr3 radeon r7 will be ok? the design are logos, sticker, etc.

Yeah that is really basic stuff it will be great. the gaming computer will run best with dedicated gpu also. Do you want me to unselect myself since you are not done?

Its ok, you help me a lot, so dont worry.

And both computer are for design. Not for gaming. I was worried of a budget ddr3 but I think that will be ok, for the old pc of course. Thanks again. I think even an old budget card (serie HD 7xxx or 6xxx) will be ok for basic design in corel right?

As long as you aren't rendering huge 30 mega pixel images then you are fine.

Yeah it really just matters how many pixels you are dealing with, but in your case I would say you will be fine.
