hy, i'm not a big specialist in IT ( or in english ) but i really need to find a serious & well argumented answer from a real professional pc expert. I have a 5 year old pc :
cpu - intel core 2 duo E7300 ( 2,66 ghz )
memory - 4 GB ram ddr2 667 mhz ( maximum ram suported by mainboard )
gpu - hd 5670 512 mb ddr 5 128 bits
mainboard - gigabyte ep31-ds3L
psu - sirtec ( high power ) plus 500w
monitor - 1440 x 900
the only games that are not working by now are Saints Row 4 + need for speed most wanted 2012
these two games have lags, now matter how low i have reduced the resolution.
And finnaly the problem :
I need a graphic card with this specs :
- max price about 100$
- compatible with my pci-e 1.0
- a gpu that does not bottleneck my cpu
- work with latest games ( on low quality )
I'm ready to overclock my cpu if needed from 2,66 stock to max 3,66 - with cooler change -
Also the chosen card must by ready for a change ( maybe after a year i will change the cpu )
After market search i find that my possibilities are next : GT 630, 640, GTX 650, GTX 650ti, HD
6570, 6670, 7730, 7750, 7770. All with 1 gb memory ddr5 / 128 bits.
Finally ( i'm boring you ) i've make a test from a friend with a HD 7870/256 bits and need for speed most wanted 2012 stil have a litle lag - from time to time-
I really wait & pray to receive a good advice about wich card i should buy. Thank you for patient.
