I have nvidia geforce 7300 LE but it sucks..i need a new one!
Which one can I buy? I’ve vista 32 bit, 2 gb of ram, AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ and cpu speed is 1.97 GHz Performance Rated at 3.94 GHz

Help me! :D

TwistedPlay.

What power supply do you have?

No point just upgrading your graphics card with that CPU, anything much higher than that card will be bottlenecked to hell and back.

You should realistically upgrade both your CPU and GPU if you’re wanting better performance in TF2, because that CPU will make most GPU upgrades completely pointless.

I dont know..how can i see it? have i to open the case?

@chris

tbh i cant spend a lot of money to upgrade my pc or directly change it even if its the right thing to do…so i can spend something to change the video card (150/200 euros)

I am not saying that it is the wrong thing to do, I am saying because your CPU is bad your CPU will limit any upgrade to the point where you might as well wait until you have more money.

Open the case, look at the part where the power cable at the back connects to, it should have a number on the side designating the wattage.

If you’re wanting something good on a budget I’d go for an 8800GTS and a dual-core Phenom II.

what about an hd 3850 and dual core phenom 2?
