well as your pc you have linked is a LCD tv and not a pc, i am suprised you can even load cod . please try and list your specs and i will try and help you.

 

[hOlyhexOr]

Thank you sir, now i have updated it

 

[weezys_advocate]

Do you have a budget ? as you are going to need more than just a new video card

 

[hOlyhexOr]

50-100 dollars sir, sorry. were not that rich :\

 

[weezys_advocate]

Do you know what graphics card you have ?

 

[hOlyhexOr]

yea, Intel(R) g33/g31 Family Chipset
the 256mb video card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121426 (should be fine for cod) and most older games
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817170017 (i wouldnt normaly recomend a cheap PSU but with your budget not much choice)
try these two. $102 after rebate. should help you play cod much better. You will have to instal the new power supply as your 250w is not up to the job. sounds complicated but if you take your time and do some reading up it isnt that difficult at all.

 

[hOlyhexOr]

hmm, the power supply? you mean the AVR? we got here.




And for this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121426
Are you sure this will guarantee me for playing CoD? Even battlefield 3?

 

[FlintIronStagg]

BF3 will probably play on it, but at lower settings/resolution

 

[weezys_advocate]

i do not understand your first question. you will be able to play cod which is a 2007 game with that card yes. battlefield 3 which isnt even out yet i doubt becuase of your system spec, but MAYBE at the very lowest settings.

 

[hOlyhexOr]

Im thinking of 1gb of video card size..
But i have 50-100 dollars budget, seriously.

 

[weezys_advocate]

Im thinking of 1gb of video card size..

the card i linked with the psu is $102 dollars with rebate. u cant afford the $2 ? would u like another cheaper option ?

 

[hOlyhexOr]

But, i want to play, CoD mw2, CoD mw, CoD WaW..
Do you think http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121426
This can sustain that games?
Does this video card can be supplied with the power energy that my pc does have?
And lastly, can this video card fits in my pc when i attached it?

 

[hyperreader]

wow i am surprised you can play Cod MW at all .if you upgrade your psu i might be able to sell you my 9500 gt at 40$ as soon as i upgrade my graphic card , but that is only if you dont mind a bit of a wait.( when i say sell , i mean through ebay.)

 

[hyperreader]

it can handle BFBC2 at 30-40 fps at medium settings and should do the same for BF3.

 

[hOlyhexOr]

Btw, i have now knowledge >,
I have a DDR2 slot.
And btw, im thinking of 9000 + GT like that. Because of good specs and less price.
And i am now wondering of how "bit" is being implemented in installing it in my pc,
Because i have a 32-bit OS w7 pc, and im getting confused of 256/128 bit video cards? does that affect too in compatibility in my pc?

 

[hyperreader]

no , it does not affect compatibility in your PC .
'128/256 bit' refers to 'how much' information can flow simultaneously ( in the case of graphic cards , it is within the graphic card ) , it is also called 'bandwith' . so obviously the card that has 256-bit bandwith will be faster; but you needn't worry about that, as your hardware cannot take advantage of that. And, most graphic cards use the PCIe 2.0 slot . it is a very long slot on your motherboard , typically on the place where it meets the rear of the chassis. if the graphic cards specification states it works in PCIe 2.0 or 2.1 , it should work in yours.

though be careful as most work in PCIe x16 ports and you don't have one.

and btw , if you want to learn about computers , i would recommend peter norton's " Inside The PC. " it may seem confusing at first , but stick with it and soon you will learn almost everything you need to know . also read some of the other threads and try to pick up some slang and understand the acronyms.

 

[hyperreader]

if i were you i would go with the 9800gx2+.

 

[hyperreader]

[hOlyhexOr]

For that Graphic card, Though i have a 32-bit OS w7, and it says 128-bit card. Would it fit? Would it perform as it says?

 

[hyperreader]

the bandwith has to do with the inside of the graphic card , not the outside and if you have a PCIe 2.0 slot , it will fit.

i cannot guarantee top performance as the rest of your computer will limit the graphic card.

how much did you spend for the whole system anyway , i want to see if you were ripped off.

 

[hOlyhexOr]

Whole system? 500$ last 2009 i think.

 

[hOlyhexOr]

Btw, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129185
Is that for gaming? Can i use it for playing CoD's? BF's?

It isn't the best for gaming but will play cod and bf, but the performance wont be very good especially for the upcoming bf3, which will most likely play low settings with that card depending on your system specs
