New Graphics card

Post by <LT>YosemiteSam[NL] » December 28th, 2012, 12:25 pm

I am upgrading my PC in steps (eventualy I will have a new PC :) ) so I bought a new card Asus GTX670 DCII 4GB but I am wondering if I should have bought a different one ?
Cause it is not way better than my previous GT450.

Problem atm is probably the CPU (intel core2 duo E6750 2.66 MHZ) and the lack of RAM (4GB on Vista 32)
I am probably expecting to much of the card on this set up but I was just wondering if it shouldn't do much better than this.

Any thoughts ?

:) I thought so ... I also read that the 4gb on the card is a salespitch and not realy of any use.

The rest of your machine (CPU, ram, maybe motherboard and power) will be holding it back :)

so right. And as its dicussed in other posts. Dont use AMD with this card^^
in Cod4-language you should have 2000 FPS with it

:) Nope not to late (haven't got the money for it yet :( ) but I know it doesn't fit.
I've built a few PC's and I know what to look for :)
