Title: I need a Graphics Card
Post by: Cake Face on April 17, 2010, 11:10:16 AM
And it has to be either pci or pci express x16 (not 2.0) and under $40. I tried newegg and such, I accidentally fucked up and order a pcie 2.0 card. I need something so i can atleast get 30+ fps and 60+ fps with tf2 and gmod and high settings.

I had this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130098) in mind, but it appears that its not good for gaming.

Well it will have to fit these specs:

But instead of 256mb, I have 1.18gb (960 cuz im sharing with onboard gpu) (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c00674971)

Alright, I found one. (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4353651&CatId=1826) Would this card be suited for my humble little PC or no?

just aslong as i can play a game on all high and have 20+, its fine by me.

btw, it says you can change it to 512mb. I dont know how...but it might do.

May not help at all, but I had a GeForce 8400 GS on my old Computer and it runned GMod on Mid with about 50 FPS. Never tried high, but should get the 20 FPS.

Garry's Mod (and Source Engine games in general) really don't need a good PC. All source games have very, very, VERY low System Requirements. Just like Blizzard Games.

Even though deus ex 1 was released in 2000, I can't even get over 15 gps xd

I don't know about any Cheap $40 Graphics card which enables you to play Gmod and Team fortress 2 at High Settings and at least 30 Fps.
A list of a few graphics card, I've searched for you:
Radeon HD 4350 is priced at just $39 for a 256-Mbyte configuration, while the Radeon HD 4550 is priced at about $55 for a 512-Mbyte configuration- http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2331409,00.asp (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2331409,00.asp)
A $15 extra should not be such a challenge, I hope.
