hello,

i'm planning to upgrade my old computer with a new graphics card. I'm planning to get a powercolor hd6950 1gb ddr5 graphic card. Is this graphic card good enough for my desktop? I will list the specs below, and also will it be able to run new games like fifa 15, metro last night and battlefield 4?

Specs :

CPU : intel pentium dual core E5200 2.5g
Ram : 4 gb ddr2
Hdd; 320gb seagate
 
Solution
If you do go with the 6950, there is a good chance that it can be unlocked with a simple bios flash or edit to run like a 6970 for a little free performance boost.
It will run your games, but the HD6950 is hardly new. You could get similar or better performance from an R7 260X and use a lot less power/generate less heat. If you can get a great deal on it and have the power supply to handle it then it could be a fine card.
