I was told by someone on this forum to get a Graphics Card with 1GB memory, and DDR5, this has 1GB memory, however it says "GDDR5"
I haven't the foggiest idea what either of these mean, but as long as it's good, i don't really care.
i have Vista, a dual processor of 2GHz each, RAM speed is 2GB, under 'Display Adapters' in the Device Manager, it says something about a 'chipset family' if that means anything significant. And finally, the is 32-bit something. Sorry, i can't remember the full name of that.
All i want the Graphics Card for is gaming. My computer is so sh!t, for lack of a better word, that i have just decided to go all-out and upgrade my PC. I am SO SICK of playing a game that plays slowly and jumps every few seconds.
It's so frustrating!!
Actually, more importantly, will this work on my PC?
And if i buy this new, will i be able to install it myself? Or is it more of a 'send it to a PC shop' job?
I mentioned something about a 'Chipset Family' above. Is this okay?
I read somewhere else that 'chipsets' cannot be removed or upgraded with a better graphics card.
So, anyway, is this good for gaming? will i need to upgrade my RAM or anything? it is 2GB.
It seems quite good, the link i provided has very good ratings from customers, and one review said it is one of the best graphics cards available for this price.
But i need to make sure. It is perfect for my budget. £95 is perfect.
But still, it's a lot of money to spend on something your not certain about.
THANKS
