No. At best, the 9500GT will be about as fast.

The long and short of it: nothing worthy of gaming, even for a 3-5 year old PC, will be under $70 or so brand new. The era of old tech dropping in price to make way for new is long gone. The best value is usually somewhere between $125 and $250

What game? not the one you told me about with the gf ti4200 requirement. No way, a gt210 would easily run it. And you have a pent D at 3.0.

yea the game gets updated monthly. so the reqs have minor changes sometimes. It lags for like about 2-3 seconds every 10 minutes i'm assuming. I can play the game, but I still feel lag.

Can you please give us the name of the game?
Since you have windows 7 and only 2gb of ram it might be a problem.

a 9500gt is hardly a good card but it is about twice as fast as the gt210. and a 9500gt can play older games just fine and most newer ones are okay at low res and medium settings. I know because I have an 8600gt which is basically identical performance wise.

He is playing a free internet game that has ultra low requirements. He said it pauses/lags every ten minutes! Thats not the video card, the gt210 is more then enough for the game. I just played it with my laptop and integrated 3200 graphics with a dual core AMD @ 1.2 ghz. The only difference is I have 4gb of memory vs his 2 with windows 7.

It must be the server or his internet connection.

His machine is at least 1.5x faster then my laptop.

/me takes notes
I had no idea the GT 210 was quite on that level, but you're right. I thought it was more in the range of 1/2 performance of the 220.

Yea I know the game sucks, but I play css on my laptop, which is no problem. I just want to play on my desktop with this fps game, so is the 9500 better or worst cause the store is selling it $44 bucks at Ultimates. I also have $10 gift certificate for best buy as well and as you guys said best buy is a ripoff. The only selection Ultimates has is 9500, 210, and 220. Best buy varies depending on the store.
One of these with $10 dollars off? Or Should I get rams? Or just stick with the VC I have and maybe something else might be causing it.

Is this one better ?

I see, so the problem is not my vc. So is the 9500 at $44 a good price?

I just returned my 210 and got the 9500. It seems to run faster and I got it for 39 bucks.
