great thread subbed.

Dont get so much time to play games these days. But two games you'd always find on my system is GTA IV (LCS) and NFS PS.

That's not how you calculate your graphic card's power, which card is it ?

I own HD5850

Nvidia 7300SE is the graphics card. Now anything to clear????

Sorry to inform you buddy, but that's a very lousy card...

Need more help ?

You got to upgrade to atleast Nvidia 8800GT (512MB) or 9600GT (512MB), this card can be had under 5K from Computers Hardware, Peripherals, Cameras, Laptops, Gaming Equipment Tech Heaven, Thin client Lamington Road, Mumbai (Under 5 K this cards have decent performance)

Also please let me know your system specs (monitor resolution as well) so that i can suggest you the best graphic card for your needs.

If you can invest more than 15 K i would suggest you to shoot for Nvidia GTX 470 or ATI HD 5870 but yes, installing those card will also require you to upgrade your SMPS, some thing to Cooler master 500Watts or some thing.

Hey guys, do any of you guys play World of Tanks?

I used to have an xfx nvidia 7300 gs 512 mb gfx card which got damaged due to inadequate smps. That quantum smps was so bad that it couldn't even support the system without the external gfx card. I've now changed the smps to HIPRO 440/450 watt.

I'm using an intel 82945 express chipset along with 2 gb ram, 2 hard disks and an LG dvd writer. Which is the best gfx card can I go for without having to worry about smps not giving enough power ?


Also, I more thing, I was surfing the net looking for my options for gfx cards and I saw this :

Here it says that this is a 256mb card, but it also says

TurboCache technology increases total onboard memory up to 512MB for turbocharged performance.

I'm confused, is this a 512 mb card or a 256 mb one?

The card has 256 mb of onboard RAM. It can also share the system RAM in order to increase performance. But in most situations this does not give any substantial benefit.

Your board has PCI-e, so get a good modern card. Forget the ancient 8400.

turbocache technology allocates system ram for graphic card use . that card is of 256 mb and upto 512 mb with turbocache . a graphic card with onboard 512 mb will be much faster than a one which is 512 mb with turbocache if other specs remaining same . dont expect to play recent games well with this card .

which is the best card that a 450watt smps can support well?

which is the best card that a 450watt smps can support well?

A card that does not require a 6-pin power connector is what u need...maybe an ATI 5670 or something...anyway come to dhaba tomorrow and we'll talk about this.

He is asking for a game with good single player story, the games you recommended don't apply.

[shrinathrao]

Have you tried God of war series?

Well, actually the games he recommended have good single player campaigns, but all of them are quite short, with the major focus being towards multiplayer. But it is good fun while it lasts, so why not?
