Author Topic: Need new Graphics Card! Help!  (Read 1425 times)

Eh

My Mother has a 9400GT Slim in her computer

That's the same computer as mine.

Graphics Card: intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family

My main goal here is to play Starcraft 2 On Highest Settings.

Well the 6 series is rather old and you're not going to be able to do that. I'd try and save up a bit more for a 9400, or even better a 9800

I have a 6 series.

It sucks.

I literally lol'd.


there are 256m PCI 9series nvidia cards brand new for 50 bucks
maybe even 512m ones

What is a '6' Series?
The 6100, 6200, 6600, and 6800 are part of the 6 series
The 7100, 7200, 7300, 7500, etc are part of the 7 series
The 210, 220, 240, 250, 260 etc are part of the 200 series

I think you get the picture


We are not going to buy you a graphics card, why do you complain about it here.

Radeon HD 4550.
It's pretty good for only 45 dollars.

He's not asking for you to buy one, he's asking you what is a good one.

Edit: Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family?  Knowing Intel, they only make integrated video cards.
In other words, you're better off just buying a new computer, really.

I have a DDR2 (Unfortunately my PC is DDR1) 1GB Video Card, Nvidia EN9400GT.
Pwetty cul.
My previous one was a DDR2 256 MB Nvidia 6600.

Just because the motherboard has integrated video doesn't mean you can't but a dedicated video card on it.
While he would be better off with a new computer, I don't think he has the money for it. If his mom put a 9400GT in the same exact computer, it'll work just fine

Your video memory and system memory are two different interfaces, when dealing with discrete graphics anyway. Integrated graphics processors often reserve some amount of your system memory since they have little or none on the graphics chip.
