I'd really like to play Warhammer: Dawn of War 2. Only problem is my video card isn't good enough to run the game. I used a site called, "Can you run it?" and everything is above the recommended specs except my video card. Here they are.
CPU
Recommended: Intel Core2 Duo / AMD Athlon 64x2 4400+ or higher
You Have: AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor
RAM
Recommended: 2 GB
You Have: 3.9 GB
Video Card
Recommended: Shader Model 3 video card with 256MB (NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT / ATI X1900 or equivalant) with latest manufacturer drivers
You Have: GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
So, I need to get a better card and I also learned I may need a new power supply as well. I've a 300W power supply. may need to go to 450-500 or so. Only question I have about that is are all power supplies compatible with all computers? I know that may be a dumb question, but I'm still learning.
What would be a good card to run the game? I've got a 20 inch monitor. so, from what I understand, I shouldn't get a card that's too powerful otherwise it'll just be a waste, right?
My computer model is a6650f. So that may help anyone with their advice. and also, if you could tell me what'll fit in my computer that'll be great, too. Don't really know if mine is PCI, AGP or PCI Express.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
