graphic card compblity

yeah..but i have a intel 2 quadcore processor,6gb ram ddr3..and i was thinking to buy Gigabyte Geforce GT 730 2GB DDR3 Graphics Card for my pc!!..is it alright?

 

[sammy sung]

Which core 2 quad? Overclocked most of them can still get away with running decent cards without becoming a significant bottleneck

The GT 730 is an entry-level piece of crap, it should be fine with any computer.

what is your motherboard? you need to check if your mobo has a pciex16 slot before finding that compatibility

and for a core3quad on a gt 730 there would be no bottlenecks

note- if it has a pcie x16 it will work

 

[Dipanshu Tihal]

it is an..intel core 2 quad q9650!
yes it does have pciex16 slot

That DDR3 730 is a really low-end card. It's going to struggle for any sort of demanding gaming. If all you want is League of Legends or something, it'll do the job, but it's low end.

What's your budget? Even the 64bit GDDR5 version of the 730 is a much better card and often costs a similar price. It'll only have 1GB RAM, but don't be fooled, it's significantly faster than the 2GB DDR3 version. Nvidia should be ashamed of themselves for releasing multiple GT 730 cards (there are actually 3).

For roughly the same price bracket you'd see better performance from this solution. In theory, the Radeon R7 250X 2GB is 26% faster than the GT 730 in general, because of its greater data rate. The only drawback is that it's got a higher TDP

is there an graphic card around Rs.5000-8000..i mean that is really my budget for now!!

The first link is like one step back from what I suggested before, whereas the second link is like two steps back. However, both with outperform a GT 730

are they good?
