Hello friends,

Will really be very thankful for reply ....

Welcome to the forums! How much would you want to pay?

 

[coolamol_4u]

Thanks for reply friend,
my budget is around 50-55 euros.
Which would be good one in that price ??

Ok, well, with that amount, you cant really get a decent one these days. If you want to run the game at high detail, you will have to spend about 100 euros. I mean, you can get cards for 50 euros, but I doubt you would be able to run in high detail, maybe medium.

 

[coolamol_4u]

Umm,okay.Then which would be good card around 100 euros

Could you give us your system specs. That way we can see what would be a good card. If you get a good card, and have a bad (rest of the) system, then it will not do much good!

Ok,heres my system requirements :
Celeron 2.0 Ghz
256 mb RAM ,
Gigabyte motherboard.

Right now im having Geforce MX 4000 128 mb,but it's now old.......

Ok, If you want a better video card, you will need to upgrade your RAM first. 256 is simply not enough anymore today. I would highly recommend you to upgrade to at LEAST 512 mb, if not 1 gb. Then we can start talking about the video card.

Yah im planning to upgrade it to 512mb this week.Plz tell me which one is good card, 6600 GT 128/256 mb or 7300 GT 128/256 mb ??

 

[Tizmo]

I would recommend the 6600GT. The 7300 is not so good, especially the LE version.

But so is the rest of your system. I would recommend saving your pennies (cents, or whatever) and waiting until you can afford to replace the whole shebang with something halfway decent (it doesn't have to be hugely expensive, you can get a more than useful gaming system these days from well behind the 'bleeding edge'). Dropping even a 6600 into that setup is going to be like applying a band aid to a gaping wound, it just isn't going to stop the bleeding.

Oh, and if you ignore the above and go ahead with a new graphics card I suspect that you'll also need to be careful about the bus that you have available to plug it into. The vast majority of cards these days are PCI Express (PCI-E) whereas your motherboard is more than likely AGP and bog standard PCI.

Yah i would definately now think bout rather to go for a new card or to change the whole system.I would like to thank u friends (Tizmo & Steve) for helping me out in this forum...
