Need advice for Upgrade(minor lang)

You could try the radeon 5770. It's a bit older but cheaper and has decent performance for the price

The most beneficial upgrade you can do is to get a better videocard rather than a processor, games these day are more GPU dependent.

But don't do games nowadays perform better the more cores you have?

However, I do agree with the sentiment that upgrading from his Inno3d GT 240 512mb ddr5 to something better is a more beneficial upgrade.

2-3 cores is still a sweet spot for most games....

hehe...i know 5k is a fairly low budget for a VC upgrade...

anyways i am not looking to max out these latest games...ako screen kay up to 1280x1024 ra so i guess buying a GTS 450 would be okay to play the latest games on this resolution? and would my x2 5000+ hold back the GTS 450?

Just did a quick search and found this:
Is AA & Higher Resolutions GPU or CPU Intensive? - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

Food for thought from the link:

Lower resolutions often put more strain on the cpu while higher resolutions on the gpu.

Thats why its sometimes better to play in high resolution if you have a slow cpu.

The amount of VRAM plays the biggest role in AA/AF @ higher resolutions. For example, a GTX295 with 64MB VRAM would suck at 1280x1024 with high AA/AF.

It might actually be a goo idea to read on the concepts of CPU/GPU bottlneck .

Sell processor and vc, add ang halin sa imo 5k budget, then get an Athlon II X3 + GTS 450.

Dako raman gani na ang 5K budget for videocard upgrade.

1. Sell your Videocard sa Buy and Sell = 2K hehe!

2. Puno gamay pa jud = 1.5K

3. Then palit dayon GTX460 1GB = Tagbaw jud ka ana hehe!


For the processor = Makahuwat man na bro. Mas ma feel jud nimo ang videocard upgrade kaysa processor upgrade.

salamat sa tanan nga ni advice...

after much contemplation and reviews read, naka decide na jud ko nga mupalit ug gts 450, kana lang Inno3d kay mas barato and so far wala ko blema ani nga brand...

again, much thanks to those who helped! salamat mga masters...
