Just As The Title Says ... Am About To Upgrade An Old Rig (Old Like Really Old, Nearly A Decade Old)
It Have
- Core 2 Duo E6750 CPU (Running @ 2.66 Ghz)
- 4Gb DDR2 Ram
- A Good 300W PSU
- An Intel Mother Board (Dont Really Remember The Model Number But I Think Its DG31PR)
Have Been Using 9400 GT 1GB Card On That PC, And It Finally Died (That Card Never Really Satisfied Them, Cause It Couldn't Play Most Of The High Demanding Games Even On Low Res)
The PC Is For Kids In The House To Play Games So They Wont Come Disturb Me While Am Working On My PC
The PC Have An Asus Monitor That Runs At 1440 x 900 Res (Max)
They Play High Demanding Games Like Metro, Crysis, Thief, Nfs Rivals, Grid Yada Yada (I Dont Really Remember All Those Games Names)
I Picked Those Cards For Reasons -
1 - Availability In My Area
2 - Low Power Consumption
3 - Good Performance (I Have Seen Both Those Cards Being Able To Play Demanding Games At Playable Frame Rates In 1080p From Med To High Settings Which Is Very Good)
4 - The Price (My Budget Is 5000/- (Which Is Around 80$)
I Will Be Glad If You Guys Help Me Pick A Card Btw The Sapphire Radeon R7 240 with Boost Or The ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 1GB DDR5
Considering The Facts
1 - Will Be Using On 1440 x 900 Res
2 - Using Demanding Games Like Bioshock Infinite, Crysis, Metro:Last Light, NFS Most Wanted 2012, NFS Rivals, Grid 2, Thief ...... Yada Yada.
3 - They Love To Bump Up All The Settings Mostly ... But They Dont Mind Playing On Med To Low Settings
4 - Anything Above 20 FPS Is Playable
5 - Low Power Consumption As The PSU Old And Its Just IDK Something Btw 300 ~ 450 (Its Been long Since I Looked Into It)
6 - I Know I Can Get Better Cards Like R7 250, But Am On Strict Budget As Cards Here Cost 50% More Than What They Usually Cost Due To Tax. So Yea Buying Anything Else Other Than Those is Pretty Much Out Of The Question.
I Will Be Buying The Card In 2 Days (Really Depending On The Answers, I Might Buy It Today If I Can Get A Good Answer)
But Then Again By All Means If You Are Living Near Me (I Live In India Hyderabad) And Know A Better Card That Meets The Requirements And Is Available Then Do Please Suggest
Thank You Very Much.
