Which graphic card would you recommend

[schahrair]

Hello,
I just buy a new PC and it comes with an integrated Intel HD, so I want to buy a new graphic card.
I was thinking about one Nvidia GT 440 1GB Ddr3
Is this good enough?
CPU: Intel i3 2.93 Ghz
Board:Intel Tom Cove DH55TC
Ram:2Gb ddr3
Power suplly: 350W

Depends on what you use it for. Gaming ?

 

[pro-gamer]

yes its better for games.

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

yes its better for games.

Sigh, it's NOT good for gaming !

 

[pro-gamer]

Sigh, it's NOT good for gaming !

on medium high it is good but look at his other specs they are not too good.

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Anyway, if you really wanne game go for a GTX460/560 or HD6850/6870. Only you need to upgrade the psu then.
If you don't wanne upgrade the psu and don't use high resolution a HD 6670 would be better than a gt440.

Also ; upgrade your ram to 4 GB.

hello bro if you are a serious gamer than you should upgrade it because these specs which you are using are nothing for them in high resolution

 

[pro-gamer]

enough hd 5770 is better and suitable card for his specs.

 

[dish_moose]

What games?
Resolution?
Budget?

enough hd 5770 is better and suitable card for his specs.

thats a ....... thing to say without knowing resolution. If he plays on 1980x1020 the 460 will be a lot better. Just keep on gaming or something.

 

[ajaat]

dude,you need to tell :
1-what games are you playing?
2-at what setting?
3-your budget

 

[pro-gamer]

if he need decent card then after buying he must upgrade other component as well because 1980x1020 is too high

 

[ajaat]

yeah,he should definetly upgrade his PSU if wants play at that resolution with max settings and 2gb ram is enough but i recommend 4gb ram,if his i3 cpu is quad core then wouldn't need to upgrade the cpu but if it's dual core then i might think it should be upgraded

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Excactly, so as long as we don't know anything it's pointless to shout "enough, he needs a 5770". Anyway, pro gamer seems to like to shout something without doing research or getting more info.

 

[pro-gamer]

so that's what i told i3 is dual-core but if he get this cpu in sandy bridge series then its will be better.
cpu
psu
ram
these are the major things to upgrade for gaming.

 

[ajaat]

and if he's running gta-4 on max settings and 1680 x 1050 or 1980 x 1020 res.He obviously need a very powerful desktop and as i know everyone is saying that gta-4 is poorly coded,so i don't recommend playing that game on ultra high settings and resolutions like that.

 

[pro-gamer]

correct!

 

[schahrair]

Well, first of all, thank you for all your replies, so:
1) I'm not a serious gamer, just casual
2) I want to buy a new GPU just for one game in particular: Diablo 3 because I'm a serious fan of the series, and also I just want it to run smoothly, not at maximum settings
3)I also want to edit some videos, nothing too professional
4) My budget is about 250-350 dollars (keep in mind, I don't live in the USA and the parts will be a little bit more expensive because of the taxes)
Thank you all

 

[pro-gamer]

then find out gtx460

 

[jessterman21]

You'd be good with an HD 5670/6670, and you wouldn't have to upgrade your PSU.

If you want more power, a 400-500w PSU with an HD 6850 will work well for all games on high settings.
