Looking for a graphics card to assume some of the workload currently handled by my dual core processor. I have 300w power supply--replacement undesirable. I play Civ V and Sim City on low to medium settings. Game play is fair, but there are some flickers and Civ V turns can take awhile. I am thinking that a simple graphics card will streamline play, eliminate the flickering, and enable me to play on medium to medium-high settings.
My (budget) build:
- 90 GB SSD (for OS)
- 7200 rpm HD
- Intel Core i3-3225 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz LGA 1155 55W Dual-Core
- ECS H77H2-M3(1.0) LGA 1155 Motherboard
- 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 SDRAM 1600
- SeaSonic SS-300ES Bronze 300W
From what I've read I am likely limited to 6450. If I get a GPU at that level will it provide what I am looking for? Suggested products welcome. Looking to spend less than $100.
