[armor555]

Hi. I got i3 4130, Gigabyte H81m s1, 4 gb adata 1333 and Thermaltake smart se 530 w. Is be good decision to take this video? I wanna play Battlefield 3, maybe and 4, GTA 4, Bioshock Infinite, Batman: Arkham City, Black Ops 2, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Far cry 3 and maybe Tom Clancy's The Division. Thanks.

It is good, but not insane to be put in short. It'll get good FPS in most games but will struggle in games like BF4. It is a good GPU to go with your CPU also.

Overall, might as well get it, it'll do decently at gaming, but don't expect to max everything out at 1080p.

If your resolution is under 1080p, you'll get better performance.

Yeah, I will play on 1280x1024. It will be bigger difference between Intel HD graphics 4400 in my i3 and this gpu?

 

[unknownofprob]

huge difference mate, your looking at an easy take down. That GPU will outperform integrated graphics any day but not by a bit, a lot.

Hope this helps and enjoy!

Make sure to use FRAPS and carefully tweak the quality settings to keep the frame rate high. My advice is 40FPS to 50FPS average with VSYNC OFF.

If screen tearing is problematic, then you need to drop the quality to maintain 60FPS most of the time with VSYNC ON which can be hard to do (and you don't want to be dropping below 60FPS if VSYNC is ON or you get stuttering).

Games to avoid on your list:
- GTA4 (has issues. Wait for GTA5 which will be far smoother and look better even on that PC).

- FC3 (It's got a fairly high Minimum and won't run well on your setup. It would on LOW but it looks like CRAP.)

Yeah,you really help me. Thanks.

Can you give me a link with cable or adapter to connect my vga monitor and this videocard?

PC - My monitor: http://

 

[unknownofprob]

depends on your monitor inputs, Could have VGA/DVI/HDMI/DP

Look at this and you'll figure out the cable you need; (Forget the display Port as it's the wrong one in the image)

My monitor have vga out.

 

[unknownofprob]

then DVI-VGA cable

 

[armor555]

So something like that -

How I can be sure that vga maintain analog signal, because i was read that some videocards don't have this signal?

it'll work, no need to worry.
