Hardware Help

Hi,

I'm not so expert in hardware but I was wondering if you call help me if this (Gigabyte GeForce GT 220, 1 GB, PCI-E) graphic card is anyone good.

If you have any other opinion let me know.

Regards,

check out this site, has a database of all graphics cards, categorized by performance and if u scroll down it lists FPS in the most recent games. should tell u how good it is compared to everything else

depends what u need it for. i have the gtx 260m which is better than this and still hate it. the recent geforce cards have high power consumption -> more heat generated -> bloody loud fans. grab an ATI card, they consume less energy and r faster

 

yes, it will play aion on max settings and 8x anti alaising.


i was honestly going to get that card from tiger direct, but i decided to go with the galaxy 9500 gt because they had a sale on it.

but it depends on how much ram you have and what proccesor you have.

3ghz+ dual core+ will work great.

4-8bgb ddr2 minimum will run aion smoothly.

but yes, that is a great budget card and im sure you can get it for around 40 dollars at tigerdirect.com

if you have any hardware issues or questions, feel free to pm me ;]

computer nerd and proud of it! xD

(will be floating in cash because of it)

 

err u do know its a laptop card lol, tbh i had to take off AA x8 coz my fans went nuts

 

im having graphics problems:i have Nvidea Geforce 8400 Gs,i log into game just fine.now mind you it worked fine before the 2.0 update.now all i can do is look at a dead screen all messed up.also when i goto return it just takes me back to same spot,is there a fix for this

 

repair aion to 2.0.0.4 and reinstal the launcher lol

 

yeah did that 50 times
wish i could show the screen shots....its all ****ed up....:devil:

 

If your graphic card number has an m on the end of it, like, say, 220m, it means it was designed for laptops, so it will most likely be a poor GPU.

I say go with the 220, if you can't afford a GPU from the 400 series. Also, don't bother on playing on anything other than x2 AA, the quality isn't noticeable but the power consumption sure is.

I used to have an 8300GS, worst GPU EVER! I could barely play flash games online, I don't think it has enough processing power for Aion.

 

no i have a desktop that im playing on,worked in the past till the 2.4 update.....im stuck on stoopid right now cant figure the shyt out.....
