need help for upgrade on old computer (graphics card dilemma)

[unagikabayaki]

---

i think i'd go for hd 4670 or hd 5670... kay kana nga cards dili need ug extra power...

good suggestion by mudstaticz. HD 4670 still packs a helluva punch. Infact it is still on 78th (1Gb) and 79th (512mb) place in boss andz Graphic Cards Ranking (just read the sticky, i think it could help you choosing cards on a budget)

HD 4670 tried and tested. I'm still using this card for the past 2 years now. With some tweaks and upgrading on your system, it could really improve gaming graphics and performance (ang CRYSIS lang gyud dili nako ma max out ang settings hehehe ambisyoso pud ko , tigum pako para palit ug 6870 hehehe)

Games I played with my small wonder HD 4670:

Crysis
Crysis 2
Call of Duty: World at War
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Dragon Age Origins with Awakening expansion
Dragon Age 2
Left 4 Dead 1 and 2
Assassin's Creed
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Starcraft 2

and Plants vs. Zombies

^ hmmm. that 4670 is tempting but my other question is, will it support my mobo based on this specs?

The PCI Express x16 graphics interface delivers over 3.5 times the bandwidth of AGP 8X to support the latest high-performance graphics cards.

pci-e (pci-express), 2 pci-e slots, pci-e type: 16x/1x

the 4670 is a PCIE 2.0. will this be alright if this will be installed with my mobo?

i try to shoo myself away from those high priced graphics cards coz i know my current system is not suited for it.

thanks for the suggestions by the way.

ADD lang. What are your memory timings? 5-5-5-15 probly? If so, you can set them to 6-6-6-18 and then run them @ ddr800. Instant upgrade for free..

^^ didnt know about this. mao ni gitawag overclocking? any steps on how to do this sir?

[keropi]

You can consider it overclocking. But newer ddr667 mems usually have chips rated for 800mhz speed. It's not just configured the jedec/spd (default supported clocks). Purist my contend that its not really overclocking.

Dun sa steps, im really sorry bro. Im not familiar with your board. Kindly google na lang..

i checked thru CPU-Z and indeed it is 5-5-5-15. does this trick need to be done by a very techie person? i hope someone can help.
