hey this is my first time posting here. I like to play a lot of games on my pc but I have been only using the integrated graphics so far which has been pretty limiting in terms of what I can play. I did a little looking around trying to decide what kind of card I would like to get and I have it down to these 2 choices
http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeo.../dp/B0035K6H2C
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100284VXL Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
I think I'm leaning towards the first one a bit more, but if you have any suggestions of something better in a similar price range let me know.
Anyways, I'm using a fairly old rig and I am just wondering if I would be able to use this card properly with it. Here are the specs:
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.100216-1441)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Gateway
System Model: 510 2900353
BIOS: BIOS Date: 01/23/04 19:02:20 Ver: 08.00.10
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 1006MB RAM
Page File: 677MB used, 1747MB available
Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.2180 32bit Unicode
I'm planning on upgrading the ram and processor in the futuer but right now I only have the money for the card. Will I be able to run modern games decently with just these specs and the upgraded graphics card?
(also, I know this isnt the section but if you would be able to tell me what kind of processor would be compatible with this computer that would be great too)
Thanks
