My Graphics Card = Fail
Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2010 10:38 am
Okay, so i found this EPIC World War 2 Based MMO. The reason i like it is because its one big world, not little game servers.
Battlegrounds europe.
Website: http://www.battlegroundeurope.com/
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-3Ww1QfvjU
Okay, as you can see it is a pretty old game and the graphics/textures look bad.
BUT, for alot of people this game lags.
One of those people being me.
Now, I know shit about computers, but i did some research and found a topic on their forums about a user complaining lag.
His post stated that he had a nvidia 9100 graphics card, THE SAME CARD AS ME.
Users there told him that the card was pretty horrible for gaming.
I am like running disk defragmenter and disk cleaner and all that other shit trying to clean my computer a bit, but the lag is still there.
Now, here are some of my system stats:
System: Windows Vista
RAM: 8G
Hard Drive SPACE: 450 free of 680
Procceser: AMD Phenom 9750 Quad-Core Procceser 2.40 GHZ
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 9100
Okay, so, if anything is bad about those stats tell me..
But anyways, I am planning on getting a new graphics card.
I only have 60$ to spend. I just need one better than the one I have now that can run Battlegrounds Europe (the game stated before) without any (or little) lag. now, like I said before, I KNOW SHIT ABOUT COMPUTERS.
So, I don't know how to put in a graphics card and im afraid of like breaking something. Would geek squad or some other computer company come and put it in for me? I mean, do they do that kind of shit?
Thanks.
EDIT: POSSIBLE GOOD CARD, FEEDBACK?:
