The graphics card that came with my new computer is a Nvidia GeForce7350LE..

The performance is not all that bad, but I want it better...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

and also fill out your specs in your profile

if you have any problems after trying the sticky then please feel free to post your problem

 

I checked it out, but some terminology is beyond me...
I put up the specs I know.
Thanks

 

If you post the terminology that youre having trouble with i will try to explain what it is and how it affects your overclock. but really if your having problems with a lot of talk in there i would suggest that maybe overclocking is not a soulution for your performance issues at this time as bad overclocking can kill your system.

maybe looking at hardware upgrades to improive your system might be a better course of action.

your system has a good processor and 1 gig of ram is ok for gaming but 2 is better alsdo the main problem is your graphics card

a 7350 le with 128 ram is a very slow card the model you have is labled as having turbo cache which really means that it is using your ram not its own memory.

a 7600 gt for £66 (about 120$) would be a good mid level card which would vastly imrove your gaming.

 

Thanks. You're right. I'm certainly not going out and OCing the computer. It just seems like there are a couple programs out there like ATITools and RivaTuner to help the simple people just to add a few Frames per Second without major investments. That's all I really want. I get about 20-40 FPS with FSX. Would love to get 30-50...

 

yeah using rivatuner or atitools would add a good few fps to your games , can i also suggest expertool 5 i used it for quite a while and found it very reliable and easy to oc your gpu

 

Thanks. I will read the descriptions and go with which one I feel comfortable with. I don't plan on doing much. I only play FSX. I just want the settings changed when playing that particular application.

 

You need to throw that graphic card across the floor, a new gfx card will improve your gaming across the board. especially with fsx.

 

AGREED
