    Hi,

    I am using Intel Pentium D 2.66 Ghz dual core processor (533 FSB with 1 mb cache) on

    Biostar G 31 D M7 motherboard, 1 Gb DDR 2 Transcend ram, 320 gb WD SATA hard drive and

    Iball LPE223-400 power supply. Monitor is samsung 17" Syncmaster 773s.


    I am planning to buy XFX ATI 4650 OR XFX GT240. Which card should support more efficienty

    with the above config?

    I am willing to play games like Crysis.

    Please advice me on the above given cards and suggest me a good graphics card that should

    run on with above config flawlessly.

    Thanks in advance.

    Putting any modern graphics card in a system using 1GB RAM with a Pentium D is waste because it'll be bottlenecked to hell and back. You gotta build from the ground up, everything.

    +2. You need a new rig, especially if Crysis is your intended game.

    If You can get GeForce® GT 240 1024MB DDR3 HDMI (GT-240X-ZNFA) or GeForce® GT 240 512MB DDR3 HDMI (GT-240X-YAFA), I think it will be best choice for You, but You need increase Your PC RAM capacity. Windows 7 and just 1GB RAM... :eek3:

    You do need to update your entire rig,but if you are short of money maybe you should get ati 4850 or 5770.Nice cards,not too expensive and they will run crysis well.
    XFX ATI 4650 OR XFX GT240 are just too slow.
    And if you get either of the cards overclock the hell out of that CPU so it wont be a bottleneck.

    Yea, ScaryClown, You are correct! But for ATI 4850 or 5770 will need new PSU too.

    HD 4670 will do.

    Wait, Crysis? Get a new PC dude.

    Get more memory is the first advice I give. At least 2GB for Windows and Crysis. I also support the suggestion for the HD5770, but with your current cpu you won't get it at maximum performance.

    Still CPU limitations, making the whole investment in GPU useless. And OC his CPU on a 400W PSU? GL in finding the magic power to do that.

    He should just build a rig from scratch: mobo, cpu, ram, gpu...

    You can get a new card , but with 1GB and a Pentium D , you will not play games properly.

    You can try add another 1GB , and a card like GT240 , but still you will play games a little better only.

    If you intend to play Crysis then you gotta build a new rig from scratch.

    Kid Goku has the right idea,
    Crysis is an absolute pain the hell to get running nicely,
    i would deffo considering saving up as much money as you can and build a new system, any advice on that we are here for ya :).

    id save up roughly about £1k or 2k to be sure.
