Hi guys,

How are you ? I wish that you're very well.

I'm really puzzled with two VGAs for my PC:
Pentium 4 HT 3.0Ghz s775
2GB of Ram (and might upgrade to 4GB)
G41 MoBo (PCI Express I guess ..)

The Video cards :

AMD Radeon XFX HD 5450 1GB DDR3

Gigabyte GeForce GT 210 1GB DDR3

I'm gonna use them for gaming in the first class

Which one will bottleneck my P4 ?

Which one will game smooth with good Framerate ?

Thanks A lot,

5450 then, its much better than the 210, but I would look for an hd3650 myself. There should be plenty of those around too for not much more.

I know this might seems to be hard, but just like popatim said above, your current PC is just too old for today's standard. (even GT210 will not take you anywhere).

It would be wise to sell your current PC and build a whole sytem.

The HD 3650 isn't available in my city right now but the HD 5450 is available.

then, will my P4 bottleneck the HD 5450 ?

thanks for your response :)

The P4 will be a bottleneck for just about any card, don't worry about bottlenecking unless you are replacing the full system. You may be better off just buying a used Core 2 Duo system instead of upgrading the P4 system with a new video card and more RAM. Don't now how your area is, but I see Core 2 Duo systems for under $100 all the time, some even with add-on video cards and plenty of RAM.
