CarPileUp Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Don't you have a 9600GT?And no, it's pretty useless to get an old Athlon 6500+ 3.10ghz Edited October 10, 2010 by CarPileUp Quote Link to comment
shadows Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 no thats what is in my pc at the moment Quote Link to comment
CarPileUp Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Ah right. Post your PSU (Power Supply) please. Wattage, 12V+ Amperes, and brand. Edited October 10, 2010 by CarPileUp Quote Link to comment
shadows Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 its a 750 watt atx power supply do not know the other watts for it Quote Link to comment
CarPileUp Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Well. 750Watt is good but it would be better when you post the 12V+ Amperes. (Or make a photo from your PSU decal.)If you want to buy a new GPU, then get a GTX460 or HD5770. Edited October 10, 2010 by CarPileUp Quote Link to comment

CarPileUp Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Your CPU is pretty old. But a HD5770 or a GTX460 should be ok. Quote Link to comment
shadows Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 well i heard dual cores are a little better then quad for gaming which gtx 460 should i get ? a oc version Quote Link to comment
CarPileUp Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) well i heard dual cores are a little better then quad for gaming which gtx 460 should i get ? a oc versionWell there are dual cores, which are better than Quad Cores. But you can't compare for example a Phenom X4 with an old Pentium Dual Core^^Just get normal version. Because I think that you will not get 100% performance from the GTX460 because of your old CPU.

If you play with 4x aa and 16x af you should take the 1 gb version and if you don't need aa you can take the 768mb version. Edited October 10, 2010 by bAsTiNaToR Quote Link to comment
