Geforce 8400 gs

[Stupid Username]

I have updated drivers and even reinstalled windows. It shows no peformence increase at all.
I dont think its bottle necked.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
2.2 Ghz
4Gb ddr2 ram
300w powersupply
Geforce 8400 gs 512mb
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
In mount and blade warband it has a estimated performence chart. It is 2% higher then the onboard graphics
Geforce 6100. So I know it isnt working anybetter. Please help.

what exactly are you asking?

the 8400gs is not a gaming card. it will struggle to run old games at minimum settings. when it launched it was very low end, and that was a long time ago.

if you want to play 3d games, would suggest a new computer.

There is not going to be any noticeable difference! The only thing is that having the card frees up system memory that was allocated to the onboard before!

Hmm..Can you suggest a better card for 50$?
