Is This A Good Graph Card - Trance - 2012-07-05 15:04

http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/54414/Palit-Geforce-GT-630-2048MB-PCI-E-HDMI-DVI-I

Just wondering will this run like COD & Arma 2

Previously i had the " BFG GeForce GTX 260 " and this that card i'm thinking of buying better than my previouse card.

i'm on a really tight budget for a new graph card and don't wanna spend sh!it loads on it.

but i still want a good gaming experiance. with little game lag.

any help would be epic cheers!

Depends on how many graphs you plan to plot. Plan on drawing any charts too?

RE: Is This A Good Graph Card - Trance - 2012-07-05 15:15

all i wanna use it for is gaming ,Sims 3,COD,Arma 2 + 3 when it comes out,LFS.
Browsing the web,you tube.

don't mean to seem like a newb here but i have no idea what drawing charts is

Your best bet is looking around google for answers. Right now, I am using an Nvidia Geforce 240GT. No where near a great card but it runs the games I play (MW3, Cod4, LFS, BF3) reasonably well. (I have alright specs everywhere else so I have made up for the card there)

The GT 630 is crap, your GTX 260 is more than twice as powerful. Don't bother.

What's your budget?
Look for HD7850, HD7870, HD7950, GTX 560Ti, GTX 570, GTX 580, GTX 660 (when available), GTX 670

ArmA 2 is a very demanding game. Finding something dirt cheap, which plays one of the most demanding games 'without lag' is a tough find.

I gave him lots of opportunities to choose from, so that he could choose a good card within his pricerange. As I've got no idea about how much he wanna pay for it, I just came up with a wide range of cards for him to choose of.

It's nothing technical, it's just Tommer was taking advantage of your typo in the title. Smile
