| Good gaming computer for Blockland? |
| (1/6) > >> |
| Trogtor:
I want a gaming computer that runs Blockland on max shaders, a lot of bricks (of course) and can still record video with no lag. I want to make Blockland Videos. Everyone else who does it has no time on their hands and no imagination completely. I am not considering building a computer. Unless it is 99% mandatory to build a computer, my decision is final. I have no intelligence on what to get and what type/brand to get unless you guys can tell me everything to get. Because i'm not going through stuff asking "is this good?" over and over again. I've done it before and you guys flamed me for picking things that didn't even look nearly right. |

If your computer has a slot like THIS: (just open your comp, take out card, look at slot, put back in) LOOK CLOSELY AT THE SLOT then a EVGA GeForce 650 will work and is relatively small. (6" x 1" x "4) Its $140 and it can run max S & S at 8000 bricks with no lag. If your computer is 2 or more years old you will want to upgrade your power supply too. I recommend a 500w Thermaltake T2 power supply for just under $99 (its easy to install both, just unscrew card, pull little lever holding it in, pull card out, unscrew PSU (power supply), unplug all wires connecting components to PSU, the insert new PSU, plug in all wires, insert card, plug in power wire, Close case, plug into wall, turn on.) If the screen looks horrible when you start your computer, that's normal. Just wait for the computer to recognize the GPU (windows 7) or go to EVGA.com and download the latest drivers there if it wont detect. Feel free to get a better card, but beware, because the better the card, the longer it is and it might not fit inside the case :P Hope it helped. |

It preforms flawlessly, and for a reasonable price too. I would recommend it. |

what is your computer model? also the 650 isn't a great card for the price, it's probably better to spend $30 more for a hd 7850 |
