hi all.
i've decided to get a pc to play counterstrike global offensive.
but i've read so many conflicting advice around recommended specs..
the Official recommended specs are:
CPU: Dual core Intel or AMD processor
RAM: 1GB for Windows XP, 2GB for Windows Vista/7
Graphics: DirectX 10 compatible 512 MB graphics card, Nvidia 400 series or AMD 5000 series.
Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit
DirectX compatible sound card
6 GB of hard drive space
i've been told to run it on medium specs at a good fps i'd need to spend ~300 pounds {2nd hand}
but where i've been getting confused is the graphics cards..
all the machines i've looked at have had:
2.8gb ; 4.0gb dual {and quad} processors,
4gb + ram e.t.c
but then they tended to have a 20 pound graphics card..
like the: XFX ATI HD 5450
what sort of specs am i really looking at for a stable framerate and average graphics?
i found one computer which seemed good,;
2 x Intel 64-bit Xeon HT 3.6Ghz
4GB Ram
nVidia Quadro FX 1400 128MB PCI-E Graphics card
would that ^ run it well?
much thanks.
i really don't have a clue when it comes to pc hardware.
