x1300 vs gtx210

[T_Yamamoto]

I assume the gtx210 is better than the x1300 in every way possible?

Im pretty sure, I cant find many benchmarks comparing the two cards, but I do know that the x1300 gets like 10FPS at 1280x720 in Call of Duty 2, and the GT210 assuming you meant that instead of GTX 210, Gets around 20 FPS at 1600x900 in COD MW2 which requires more GPU power than COD 2. So im thinking that the 210 is faster, probably more efficient and cooler as well.

I would think. x1300 is ancient.

Not that it's really worth anything either, but the GT 210 does win that competition.

x1300 was a true POS even immediately upon release, only thing it can claim is it was one of the first generation PCIe cards.

Please tell me you aren't trying to game on either of those cards...

the g210 is certainly faster but even it is useless for any modern gaming. even my pitiful old 8600gt is almost 3 times faster than a g210.

Well I've been gaming with the x1300 (was donated to me), CSS plays fine with it, but I also may be able to get my hands on a gt210 for free. I have a 9800gt but my power supply (my computer is a 7-8 year old dell) does not have a 6pin connector.

I just want to be able to not get framedrops when im walking through smoke in CSS

True, GT210 outpaces X1300 in almost every benchmarks, but it's meaningless, even the newest intel integrated GPU in irybridge I7 is can do nearly the same performance.

Buy a molex to 6-pin adapter and use the 9800.
