Graphics Card Problem?

[djmanny]

Hey Guys,
So I had a question about my graphics card, I recently bought a new one the (radeon r7 240) and am still getting pretty low fps on Runescape. Before i upgraded it i was getting around 3-5 on min settings and now I'm getting better but still pretty low. Around 8-15. I was wondering if this is a graphics card problem and should upgrade to the geforce gtx 750 (only affodable good one I found, but if there's any better around the same price range I'm willing to go for those). I'll list my computer specs below in-case it's not the graphics card.
I won't be able to afford a new computer at the moment so that's not an option.

Processor: Intel(r) Core(tm)2 cpu 4300@1.80ghz
Installed memory (ram): 3gb (usable 2.74gb)
System type: 32 bit
Graphics card: Diamond Radeon r7 240 oc 2gb

I know it's not very good but it i think it should be able to run RS around 20-25 fps on min settings.
Thanks for replying

The R7 240 is still a very basic graphics card that cannot be expected to game particularly well .
Something like an R7 260 , would give you a significant performance boost . Enough that the processor would start to become the weakest link

Do you think a Zotac Geforce Gtx 750 would increase a few fps? And would it be better than the r7 240 or about the same?

The GTX 750 is a much stronger card than the R7 240 . It would also give you much improved game performance

The graphics comparisons like the following link are often not very helpful because they can be a confusing jumble of numbers
http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-240-vs-GeForce-GTX-750
but scroll down to the benchmark section and you can see the GTX 750 Passmark score is 3266 , and the R7 240 is 964

Now check here

and the R7 260 is more powerful again .

I guess it depends on your budget , and possibly on your power supply
