    Default GFX Card Upgrade

    So, dot's looking to upgrade his GFX card as my system rating is showing my graphics to be the cause of my problems.

    Problem, money is an issue, so I doubt i'll be able to get a top-notch graphics card.

    So is do ya'll know of anywhere i can get one that will run Source on max details, or tf2 on moderate details?

    P.S. I'm not a computer guru, so don't reply in like x=mc squared or what not.

    -Dot

    If you have Ati stay with a new Ati card same goes with Nvidia. Its hard to go from one to another without a reformat being done. Hope i didn't confuse you. Here... go to device manager and click on display adapter. whats it say ?

    Also you may try to OC your processor. I did mine from 3.4 stock up to 4.2 stable and that really helped out my frames. its maxed 299 the whole CSS video stress test.

    Once i know what card you have now i can point you in the right direction.

    Ok your running a Nvidia card now so you will want to stay with Nvidia. So everything ATI ! throw out the window. IMO Nvidia is much better anyways. The new budget cards out now days will flat out scream if you buy the right one. i need to know more about your machine though.

    go to start, Control panel click System: Tell me what Processor you have. It should say AMD or Intel and a Speed. ie 2.6 or 3.0 GHZ. Then i need to know what RAM you have. 1 gig or 2 gigs ect.

    See the key is to match your components it saves time and money in the long run. Some people put a 75 dollar card in a 2000 dollar computer and they wonder where they went wrong at. lol

    I built my last PC and put the best stuff in it that was available at the time. Then moved to the country and can't even get internet lol. STILL ! But i went balls out on a GFX card and even with a 1000 dollar processer Intel Xtreme quad core 3.2 it couldnt push the Gtx 295s i had. So.... I had to over clock from 3.2 up to 4.6 speed to get it to run all together. Look at a computer like a football team if you will, When one part struggles, They all struggle ! till the fatal crash and burn.

    ok enough rambling... get back to me with info dotty.
