AndyPandy Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 This is my graphics card: Can it run any current games, and will it be good for a HD screen? I currently have it connected vis VGA to a crappy old 15" monitor. I was thinking of connectiong it via HDMI to my HDTV. Will it be good? Tell me if you need any other info. So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

BloodfleshX Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 That card is the low budget end of the 2000 series. I wouldn't even consider it for gaming really, especially if you want to use a tv with a high resolution. Could you post the rest of your specs so we can see what you could upgrade to.

AndyPandy Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Is this enough?

BloodfleshX Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I see - it's a prebuilt. Problem with upgrading one of them is that they tend to use power supplies that only just cover components that come with the pc. You would probably have to upgrade psu as well, because any decent gfx card nowadays would draw more power than a 2400. I'd recommend a Corsair VX450 and a Radeon 4850 - prices would vary depending on where you live. Edit: I forgot to ask, what's the resolution of your hdtv? 1080p or 720p?

eggzs Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 2400 is [cabbage]. Maybe at 1024x768 its adequate but anything higher than 1280x720 would be pushing it for modern games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
