  • Any computer more than 4 years old almost certainly has an older single core processor, meaning you'll need a new motherboard to upgrade to a good CPU. It would also have older RAM (DDR2 if you're lucky but possibly DDR) which can an expensive hassl…
  • They appear to be very close in performance... It really depends upon the title you're playing. Looks like in easier games the 480 gets higher fps, but in tougher titles or with AA turned on, the 570 has the slight edge. Certainly the 570 is much …

  • Get a better graphics card. The Radeon HD 6450 is very low-end. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Zotac/GeForce_G... http://www.anandtech.com/show/5541/amd-radeon-hd-7... At minimum, get a Radeon HD 7750. Preferably a 7770 or 6850.

  • Wow isn't very demanding, so you could play at low detail and low resolution, but that's it. The GeForce 7100 is just an integrated chipset built-in to the motherboard, it's not a real physical card sitting in a slot. You'd get over 5x better …

  • Yes, it's a worthwhile upgrade. Here's an actual comparison of gaming performance: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/fx-83... and application performance: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/fx-83...
  • AMD's closest equivalent to the GeForce GTX 660 is the Radeon HD 7870. The HD 7950 is the closest match to the GTX 660 Ti. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2012/09/13/nvidia... http://www.techspot.com/review/565-nvidia-geforce-...

  • Cuando era pequenio tenia un pollito que al crecer me picoteaba las pantorrillas y por eso lo comimos jhajajaj
  • They're comparable, I think the Seagate might be slightly better. Personally would choose a Samsung Spinpoint over either of them, that's comparable in quality to WD Caviar Black (but cheaper)

  • If your screen resolution is 1680x1050 or lower, it doesn't matter. At those resolutions, 1GB and 2GB cards perform identically. In most games at 1920x1080 there's no difference if you're running on high (not ultra) settings. However, the lates…

  • Uninstall the current drivers, and try a previous driver revision and see if the problem goes away. It might be a bug with that particular revision. Of course there's always the possibility of there being a hardware issue with the card. If diffe…

  • On a 21.6" monitor (I'm assuming a resolution of 1920x1080 or lower) there wouldn't be any appreciable difference due to video memory being 512mb vs 1gb. Take a look: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/rad... The GTX 260 is ce…

  • Your problem is that the Dimension 4700 ships with a factory 305W power supply, which isn't strong enough to run midrange cards like a GeForce 9800GT and Radeon 4770 (those require 400W while the Radeon 4850 and GTS 250 require 450W minimum). Mak…
  • @Hammdog he asked about the $130 GTX 550 Ti, not the $240 GTX 560 Ti you've got (which IS a step above the 6870) ***** It's a decent card, but NOT a good value for a budget PC. On average, the GTX 550 Ti is about 3-5 percent faster than a…

  • It sounds like your cooling fan/heatsink may not be securely attached, causing your CPU to overheat after a short time and triggering an automatic safety shutdown.

  • First off, the notion that Intel processor work better with Nvidia cards while AMD processors work better with AMD cards is complete, utter nonsense. Both Nvidia and AMD cards are equally compatible with any processor, regardless of manufacturer. …
  • The APU is the built-in graphics processor on AMD's low-end A-series processors. It's much better than Intel's integrated graphics on the Core i3/i5/i7 processors, although the A-series CPUs are much weaker than Core i3 in every respect other than …
