Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Hi all, i'm, new here.
Well, i want to purchase a new graphic card and ram as well for gaming.
My configuration is-
Intel P4 3.0GHZ,
1 GB DDR2 ram,
Asus P5BMX-WifiAP MotherBoard(Inter 946GZ Equivalent),
80GB HDD,
DVD-RW + CD-RW
My total budget for total upgrade (GFX card + RAM) is around 4-4.5K
I have followed this topic, and i have shortlisted 3 models-
1) Nvidia 8600GT
2) ATI HD 4350
3) Nvidia 9500 GT
Any other good one in such low price? I guess 3rd one may not be worth, but i'll like to get the confirmation.
I'll be using it for gaming only and basically what i want is a nice one with any amount of memory (256 or 512), or any damn specifications (DDR2 or DDR3) which will give me best gaming performance and maximum compatibility and running for maximum amount of time. And just for knowledge, the 8600GT is available in 512MB, and 1GB versions, right? What is it?
And the RAM, i have 2 slots, one is already filled up having a 1GB DDR2 667MHZ stick. So, just one slot remeaining. Should i get 2 GB additional for being future proof, or shud i get just 1 GB instead? Plz consider that I'm not a hardcore gamer. As of now, i'm just after GTA 4, nothing else.
And one most last thing, will i require a new more powerful PSU according to my newer configuration?
