Hey all, this is my first post here on the forums, been looking all over the place for good GPU card to run a video game i like to play called "theHunter"

ive been told that my extra ram, and CPU are perfectly fine to run higher settings on this game, but appearantly my GPU is lacking

i just want a good GPU that can run this game in higher settings... preferably cheap (ofcaurse) because i just dont know where to start and waht all the numbers and stuff mean.

Specs: (DO NOT LAUGH! :rolleyes:)

dell inspiron 531
CPU: AMD athelon 64 x2 dual core 4000+ 2.1 GhZ
RAM: 4GB
TYPE: 32-bit
GPU: ATI radeon HD 2400 pro


thanks all in advance :D
 
You will need to buy a new power supply which is of higher quality and wattage before you buy a new graphics card. I have a friend with a very similar system, so I know that a normal ATX PSU will fit.

A budget would really help to find an ideal card, but don't spend a lot because the rest of the system will be a bottleneck (likely) on anything more powerful than a Radeon R7 250 or maybe an R7 260 (which are entry-level graphics cards).

I've had a look at the system requirements and it calls for a GeForce 7600 which came out about 7 or 8 years ago, so an R7 250 or even an R7 240 will be plenty. Grab a Corsair CX430M power supply to go with it and you should be good to go.

Depends which games you want to play and the resolution you want to play them at. The R7 250 is an entry-level card, so don't expect miracles in terms of performance when playing newer and more demanding games, but it should play 'theHunter' fine.
