Hi there : ) This is the first time asking for advice about what to buy,
and I hope I could find a solution to my problem, thank you in advance : D!
I have and old pc, a Pentium 4 3.0 ghz, with a Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2 (pci express 1.0 integrated Nvdia 7100 nforce 630i) and 2 gb ram.
I usually play indie games and I´m not worried about graphics (most times resolution 1024x768,
no AA and that stuff)
But I get an old Radeon x800xl 256 mb, and with it I could finally play some games like Amnesia, Left 4 dead 2 and even Starcraft 2. But the card only supports pixel shader 2.0 so
I can´t play so much games like with the Nvidia 7100.
I want to purchase a new graphic card..but I want to stay with my cpu and motherboard instead to buy another new pc for now. I want a card better than the Radeon x800xl, with pixel shader 3.0 and compatible with pciexpress 1.0 and that my cpu still could handle it.
At first I thought Radeon HD6670 and Nvidia Gt 630, but I don´t know if my cpu could handle them.
So I thought it could be better a Nvidia Gt 610 or Gt210.
So...what would you recommend me? To purchase a better card like the HD 6670 or the Gt 630 or purchase one
of the rest?
Thanks!
