buy a new card or see if ghosts can run in non dx11 mode.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_9_Series#GeForce_9... dx10 only
http://www.codghosts.net/ dx11 only if that is correct

You might be able to force the game to run in DirectX 9. Might not work though. The game is very new and really made for DX11.
In your Steam client, right-click on Call of Duty Ghosts in the games list.
Select Properties.
In the window that comes up, click 'SET LAUNCH OPTIONS...'
Type in "-dx9" without the quotes and click ok.
Hopefully it works. Good luck!

yes they are pci-e .what about the specs of the card (ie:graphic adapter memory /graphic adapter memory type / memory bandwidth / memory bus / memory clock speed) are they important or not ? was thinking of getting either those 3 :
ASUS GeForce GT640-2GD3 - 2GB - PCI-E
ASUS GeForce GT630-2GD3 - 2GB - PCI-E
ASUS GeForce GT640-1GD5-L - 1GB - PCI-E
which one you recommad for my mobo type and for the game ....
now I have two SLI at the moment ..would I need need still 2 or one would be enough

radeon is amd. There are two players in the gpu game, nvidia and amdati.
this might help http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-graphics-card-revi... the last page gives you an idea of how they compare to each other if you see something you think is a good deal.

Wait till you can get something better.

Look at the second graph
Even a GTX 690 or Titan can't get average 60fps. GTX 660 does 37fps...
What a crappy port well done Activision.

sorry for getting back late but was working.....I will take your advice and wait until I have saved a bit more ...but one more question : when you change graphic cards is it straight forward or is there special steps to adhere to ?When changing to a new card, do a complete uninstall of the existing graphics drivers, before physically replacing the card. Then install the latest drivers from AMD or Nvidia depending on the GPU you have.
I've seen cases where it still reports the old card after installing a new one although it's from the same GPU brand. That can happen when you don't uninstall the driver before running the new card, causing the system to be confused.

Hi thanks for your answer ..now I will be travelling to france soon for a 35 year past pupil reunion and I was surfing to see if I could find cheaper one in france ..I did so now which one would you buy :
ASUS NVIDIA GTX760 GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 - 2048 GDDR5
or
MSI NVIDIA GTX760 Twin Frozr 4 2GD5/OC - N760 TF 2GD5/OC - 2048 GDDR5
and more importantly would it work with computer . I have an asus M3N-HT Deluxe mother board /8Gb memory / an AMD Phenom X4 9650 processor

I didn't know gtx760 was in the picture! Never a bad idea to get a gpu more powerful than you were originally planning on.
For me an eye opener was playing far cry 3 on my r6850 (a $200 card 3 years ago) and seeing a gtx670 8 months ago for $330. The game was not fun until I upgraded... Totally loved it after! While we are on the topic of saving/spending more a gtx670 for $260 (usd) if you shop around.
The 270x is surprisingly close to my card on amd favored games for $200.
Do you have 2 6 pin power (2 molex 4pin can make 1 6pin with adapter)? I think all 3 of those cards require 2 6pin/ 500w psu

hi JUICEhunter ..the idea came to me when I check some French website and the price ..much cheaper than in Ireland ..so as I am going out there for a week why not did I say ....as for for the power adaptor there is no problem as I have the one left over from my 2 gt9800 ( there were green edition and did not need the power to it ..and I don't throw away cable of any sort ....you never know ...)
will let uouknow how it went .thanks for the help
