2gb superclocked geforce gt 630

I have Geforce 9500 GT

GPU Engine Specs
CUDA Cores1: 32
Graphics Clock (MHz): 550MHz
Processor Clock (MHz): 1400MHz
Texture Fill Rate (billion/sec): 8.8

When I try play blockland on max shaders make my computer laggy very much and slower, I think my graphics card are outdated. I need buy new one.

EDIT: I found your card info here. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications

Pablo I want you to do a quick benchmark.

Download this gamemode: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=225187.0
and this save: http://www.cohortteam.com/#!projects/ctzx (BlockoSeattle v1.1)

Start Blockland in singleplayer with that gamemode, load that save, orb around to ghost all bricks, go on top of the Life building, and stand on top of the dark gray pole. Look towards the tall white apartment building (One block in front of the hospital, it has a red and an orange building next to it in the same block). Turn up all the graphics settings in the options to their highest values (except shader) then type metrics(fps); into the console and report your FPS like I did at various shader levels:

Off: 14 fps
Minimum: 16 fps
Low: 3 fps
High: 2 fps
Max: 2 fps

I have ATI Radeon HD 5870 v2 with 1GB GDDR5 (default clock) and it cost me 552 USD. I will go cry in a corner if a 60 USD card is going to beat this thing that cost over 50% of my computer budget. I will only accept my defeat if OPs card is a furnace and requires water cooling.

552 USD for the 5870???? jesus christ its supposed to be like a third of that price
the 7870, which is 3 generations newer and way better is 220 USD

what are the rest of your specs? maybe there is a bottleneck?

[lolz??]

I got one for like 150 specifically to play bf3

My computer is a few (2-3 I can't really remember) years old now.

Asus M4A87TD EVO
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz
Corsair 2x6GB DDR3 Dual Channel 9-9-9-24 PC3-12800 currently idling at 700MHz

I couldn't find the exact RAM online.

cpu is a bit old but certainly shouldn't bottleneck blockland
ram is running a bit slow but shouldn't really make a difference either
whats your pci-e slot version/ motherboard model?
