Hi there,
I was researching for a new GPU for my computer and I was wondering - if you want to play a game, and your computer does not meet the minimum requirements for a number of areas, then can you get a powerful GPU that will make up a difference?
For instance, for Assassin's Creed III the recommended requirements vs what I have are below. If I got a good GPU would it make up for the slow chip and lack of RAM? Thanks for any help...
