Hey boys, I'm looking to see if I can install a new graphics card on my rather old computer.
As of now, I can only play old games (and I mean OLD) and even those, low quality unless I wanna lag! This is because I have an integrated graphics card.
So anyway, I was looking forward to getting a new graphics card, until I realized it's not as easy. I made my mind and I'm going for a GeForce GT 210. I don't want an expensive graphics card, this thing is cheap, has half a GB of VRAM, and shader model 3.0. My current integrated graphics card only has shader 2.0 which simply does not allow me to do ANY gaming whatsoever.
I want to be able to run games that aren't too complex, I don't know if I'll be able to run ArmA 2 or DayZ, but thing is I just wanna run games at 30-40 fps if possible on low settings, not looking for high settings and I don't know if it will work out. Also, I have a 0GM819 Dell Motherboard, will I be able to install this graphics card on this mother board? If not, could anyone suggest any cheap, and sufficient to run games on low settings graphics card that can go on this motherboard?
By this, to clarify, I'm looking to play games that don't require overkill specs, I just wanna do typical gaming lagfree, no need for full HD 1080p graphics, only for personal gaming use. Hope this makes it more clear.
Also, last thing to this huge post, I'm not looking to BUILD a PC, as it would go too expensive for me and well, let's just say I can't get the hardware in the country I'm situated. Thanks in advance!
