So i have a old pc that can run a few games that are not very demanding, like Skyrim usually runs at 25 to 30 fps on low settings and i was wondering if there is any graphics card that will make my system runs games like Arma 3 or BF3 at around 30 fps or more and under 100 dollars.
at the moment my specs are
CPU: AMD Athlon FX-60
GPU 1: ATI radeon HD 2400 XT
GPU 2: nvidia geforce 7800 GTX
2GBs of ram soon to be 4GBs (in mail)
thank you in advanced

 
uhh, wtf, do you have 2 GPUs in your system, one from AMD and one from nvidia? if so it's like no wonder your computer is completely f'd. You're not supposed to have both, because they don't work together.

And is your computer a laptop? Because it looks like it might be . You can't upgrade the GPU in a laptop.

I would say there's no hope for you system, it's from like 2006, 9 years old. It's done all it can in the world, and you need something completely new.
 
of course its old it says right there an old pc but id like to know if there is a graphics card out there that will make my system run games like bf3 at around 30 fps
and i could just take out my other gpu if needed you can be mean about it if you like but that wont answer my question
 
arma3 is a pretty tough to run game, so I'm not really sure your computer could run it at all. BF3, is easier but still fairly demanding.

The best GPU for you would be a Nvidia GT 740, like:

It's mainly that I don't think your CPU is gonna be strong enough either way. You'll want to disable/remove/uninstall the drivers for your ATI graphics though, it's not a good idea to have both in a system. Use this to get rid of your ATI drivers, http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
