Vasilhs Triantafy · Jul 16, 2014

PC specs:

Motherboard:GIGABYTE 945GM-S2
Processor:Intel Core 2 1.86gHz
Graphics card(old):I think it was Nvidia geforce 7000GS or 7300

Well this graphics card destroyed andi want to buy a new one
I think I'll buy a. GAINWARD GEFORCE GT630 . I wanted to ask if its comparable on my PC...
Thank you

You can use it, no problem. All you need is a PCI-E slot on your motherboard, which you do. This is not a fast card for gaming, but it is fine for everything else.

It's pretty expensive card for the performance it provides.
Anyway, what is ur power supply? what do u want to use ur PC for? what's ur budget? and lastly, ur full system config?

I need a card for LoL...so this card it's not suitable for this use?

Vasilhs Triantafy :

It will play LoL or League of Legends (if that's what u meant), with medium settings.
I mean, with 1024*768 resolution, u will probably get 30-40 FPS.

What about sapphire radeon r7 240 withvboost 1gb..??
It will be bwtter and it will be compatible for my pc?

herrwizo · Jul 16, 2014

Yes and yes. But if you intend to play anything, regardless of your slow CPU, I don't recommend anything below R7 250.

Vasilhs Triantafy · Jul 16, 2014

I only want this card for lol..so you advice me to don't buy that sapphirw due to slow cpu?So which one to buy?

sid_90 · Jul 16, 2014

For r7 240 then you will get FPS of about 41 to 75, max 100 $69.99
with r7 250x FPS 75-110, max 130 $84.48
with r7 260 FPS 80-120, max 160 $89.99
Now according to ur budget you can go for whatever you want.
Note: Higher valueis better and all prices are from pcpartpicker.com

Thewe cards are new generation and my system is pretty old...so it will be surely compatible?

sid_90 · Jul 16, 2014

Vasilhs Triantafy :

Although r7 series cards are PCI 3.0, but they are backward compatible so it'll work the PCI-E 2.0 slot as well.
Have a look into the below website, the GPU cards which are compatible with ur board and works just fine in ultra-high settings for LoL

My system is PCI 2.0?
So both cards are good for my system?Which of these 2 you suggest me to buy?

herrwizo · Jul 16, 2014

Your call, sir. More money equals more performance in this case. And you determine what's enough performance for your case.

sid_90 · Jul 16, 2014

Vasilhs Triantafy :

As herrwizo suggested, go for r7 250. more than good enough for budget gaming.

Vasilhs Triantafy · Jul 16, 2014

Just want to know if this r7 240 its compatible on my pc...

sid_90 · Jul 16, 2014

Vasilhs Triantafy :

Yes, all r7 series gpu are compatible with ur MoBo/PC

ichigothereaper · Jul 26, 2014

no problem!you can!but if you intend to play games i'd say instead of that gpu go for a r7 250!with this card you can play most modern games(not everything)with decent visual and fps!
here is a link for the r7 250
