Hey, so I'm planning on buying a graphics card and I'm wondering if it's a good decision. I plan on playing:
Starbound and some Source Engine games (Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Zombie Panic! Source).
Right now, due to my country's situation I can only afford a 1GB graphics card which is where my questions step in, I currently have an integrated 1.5GB: Intel Q43/Q45,and I don't know if it would be an upgrade or a downgrade, it already struggles with Tf2 at times but I believe that's because of renderers, I'd like to play specially TF2 at DirectX 9. Left 4 Dead 2 is also a black screen after loading which I also think is due to renderers.
Specs:
4GB RAM
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66 Ghz (Quad Core)
Integrated graphics (Intel Q43/Q45)
Graphics cards I can buy: Nvidia G405
