Looking for a graphics card

[Gwolfski]

Hi, i'm looking for a graphics card that'll be better than my embedded-into-motherboard one. Max price is about 300euros, though cheaper is preferable.
System : windows 7 64bit
AMD a4-5300 apu with radeon graphics 3.40 Ghz
RAM: 4gb (will change to 8gb soon)


thanks in advance

You're going to notice an enormous bottleneck from the A4 as well, since it is a single-module/dual-core unit.

What games do you play?

mostly minecraft, skyrim, terraria

edit:btw, i want a graphics card mainly to
a)reduce strain on ram
b)get a slight improvement on graphics in game

Ummmmm...........

b)get a slight improvement on graphics in game

If you just want a 'slight' improvement it may be a better idea to simply swap out for a higher end APU such as the 5800K which contains 3x the video resources and over 2x the CPU resources.

well maybe more than slight.A graphics card that is cheap-ish and stops the above games stuttering when i lift the graphics above avarege-good


edit: or do you think 8 gb ram will be enough and i dont really need a graphics card?

What is the make and model of power supply you have? If you have a low end unit, you'll have to replace the power supply as well.

Whichever graphics card u buy ..first u hav to check for the power supply..so first check that .
