Hex HD Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Well my old computer was about 6 years old so it was time for a new one. Probably gonna be running like crysis and other games like that. Link to comment
Bobby Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Should be good for some time. 1gb video card is nice, shouldn't be lagging Link to comment
Damin Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Should be good for some time. 1gb video card is nice, shouldn't be laggingYour post makes me ponder whether or not you know much about video cards at all. There are so many other factors that go into whether or not he should lag or not. For instance, his Gfx card is probably about the same quality wise as mine and I have a GTX 460 768mb card... it's plenty and I don't lag on any games I play. Edit: to clarify my card isn't top of the line, it's about middle of the pack (same as this one) with less memory, I don't lag however because my resolution isn't gigantic, I have plenty of RAM and my CPU/Memory is fast.It's a solid computer, should last a few years before being outdated by anything... I told you this on TS already however. Edited November 23, 2011 by Damin Link to comment
Hex HD Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 I told you this on TS already however.I know I just wanted to see what other people thought. Nothing personal, not like I doubt your computer savvy-ness. Just getting more opinions that's all. Link to comment

I told you this on TS already however.Damin, I'm aware that there is more that goes into it then just the video cards size. I was meaning that by going higher then what is needed, he will be "future-proofing" and will last a couple years before needing to do anything to his computer barring hardware failing. Next time ill be more clear Link to comment

Bobby Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 As time progresses, it seems games require more memory. I'm saying it should last him.I had cat6 on the brain when I said futureproofing Link to comment
Wayne Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 unless you wanna play Skyrim on max settings with a 2880x1800 resolution you should be good. Link to comment
