I'm playing League Of Legends about a year and unfortunately 3 weeks ago my pc stopped working! There was a problem with my graphics card, so i had to change it ! My "new" graphics card is a NVIDIA Gainward 9500GT 1GB DDR2. But when i'm in game my fps are very low ( about 8-9 ) ! Can I somehow increase my fps by using the same graphics card or i need to buy a new one ? And if i need to buy a new one, can you recommend something enough good to play league of legends in a good price please ?

According to this article from Tom's Hardware, the Nvidia GeForce GT 640 is a good budget graphics card. This video from TheSuperUberGOLDFISH shows that the Nvidia GeForce GT 640 ran League of Legends at 30 - 45 FPS in 1920 x 1080 resolution. I recommend the EVGA GeForce GT 640 graphics card if you would like to get this graphics card for your build.

You can try lowering the settings of LoL to their lowest, but really the problem is that graphics card doesn't have the power you need. What would your potential budget be for a new graphics card?

Well,i have already tried to get the settings at their lowest and it just went about 17-18 fps but the graphics are really bad ! I think it would be good if we are able to find a good graphics card for gaming ( actually only for league of legends) in about 100-150 euros ! Can you recommend me something ?
 


before recommend cards mabe we should ask what the rest of his build is. the card may be way to much power for what his cpu or power supply is capable of

I think the correct drivers are installed ! Hmm what do you mean "you are trying to run max settings" ?

It seems to be good and is within my price range, but it would be ever better if we were able to find something a bit cheaper...! :)

Typically you want to buy the best that you can afford, as you can buy graphics cards ranging from $20 to $3000.

If you just want an average card that'll play LoL without shelling out too much, have a look at this:

or this

This is assuming that your system can take these cards, as I don't have detailed specs to work with.

Assuming that your processor and other components are up to par, absolutely.

I don't think its your gpu since I used to run this game easy @720p on a g210 and then @1080p on a gt520, and your gpu is stronger than those 2

what are the rest of your specs? and try repairing the game, there might be a bug or something

Surely there is no bug or something...just i can't play with more than 22-23 FPS with low graphics ! I don't know but i think it's the card ! It's too old !

don't know I haven't tried running the game with my old gpu's after the new patches and there have been 2 that were mainly for updated graphics, the card might not be good enough anymore, get a gt640 or a gtx650, seems the prices are also down on that model, they both go for reall cheap, and with any of those cards you can ultra LoL easy
