Honestly, if you get any gains from that video card, they will be minimal, and maybe not even noticable. That processor is going to bottleneck your system, and so will the RAM. No offense, but it's time for a full upgrade.new graphics card not performing right, ...
I can't afford that, so is it just better to send the card back and get my $110 back? My Xbox 360 burned out 2 days ago also, so I'm just **** outta luckAll the people I've seen online have similar systems, the benchmark i was talking about was similar, and people have said they upgraded from graphics cards better than mine and that this radeon x1650 gave them such a huge increase. I'm still not completely convinced it's my cpu and ram, because it doesn't seem like that would give me the exact same frames before and after
Exact same frames? Like, exact? Precise? Update the drivers.
yeah pretty much the same. Of course they go up and down so here is no exact to compare it to. But all the games ran at around the same frames as they did before, and I was able to increase all the settings in bf2142 and have it run decent for a min or two, then performance dropped HARD so I'm guessing it was the ram. Or the heat. Drivers are updated to the latest, I'm just wondering if they didn't install right
If the performance was almost the same with your old card, get your money back and you should start saving for another pc, your pc can hold, but try not to play everything maxed out.

If you retry with the drivers and still get the same results, get your money back for the card and save up for a new PC.
gah. 2 useless pieces of hardware i have to send back this week
how much do you think it would cost for a good pc? I'm poor and like to buy parts that are well below top-notch so i can save money (obviously). Or is there any other cpu i can put in this motherboard?
You would have to tell me what socket the motherboard is. And you can build a decent (at least) gaming pc for less than $1,000. You can build a good gaming pc for $700 or $800 if you don't mind pirating software (not condoning that though, don't ban me). What is your budget, and I'll help you come up with a good configuration.
Lol, and by the way, what's your name on WOW, I play that too. I just started a few days ago and I love it.
Thanks, you're awesome. Character I play right now is Aurahlamun on Magtheridon, Alliance. My budget isn't much, I tell ya. As little as I can spend. $600 if possible, I can borrow parts like hard drive and dvd drive to save money, no monitor needed. Just cpu, ram, and a new gfx card since the new board won't be agp.
oh and the motherboard obviously o_O
For $600 you can have something above decent if you don't need all those parts. Only if you're willing to self build though, which I'm sure you can figure out.
Also won't need to buy Windows since I'll just be using the samehard drive, unless my ATA cables aren't gonna work with the new mboard.
Do you want a case too?
[QUOTE=''SaiTokoKeimei'']Also won't need to buy Windows since I'll just be using the samehard drive, unless my ATA cables aren't gonna work with the new mboard. [/QUOTE]SATA will work just fine. But on most of the new boards, there is only like one IDE slot usually.
I have an extra case layin around but I get confused with the number of expansion slots and how that fits into the case, so I guess a new one won't hurt but it doesn't have to be fancy
thats probably stupid of me but i used to need boards with like 7 PCI slots and had to buy just the right sized case to fit it in, and i got 2 cases out of 3 that didn't work which is why i have an extra now ^_^

I slapt together a pretty good sub-$700 rig. Excludes OS and monitor, KB/M.
