got any recommendations for my frekin Graphics card?
i bought a GeForce 8400 GS...its not the best,......still its way better than my old card,,
i didn't know i had to have more power to run that bitch.. well i bought a 400 watt transformer or what ever you call it...my silly question is,
Will it give me enough power to play _RE5_
the recommendations for that card says a minimum of 300 watts...
i have only 400 watts to power the motherboard, dvd burner & hard drive...so im not sure whats left for the graphics card?
works good so far,,,,not as powerful as expected tho!

I looked up the specs on that video card, and sadly I gotta say that.. it really isn't meant for high-end gaming :(

If your tight on money and are looking for a BUDGET card, I recommend a GeForce 9400GT, it's only about 44.99$

Link to it on Newegg

Anyways, with that card you can expect to play games on MEDIUM settings, but shadow quality on Lowest it can go, because the card has poor shadow support.

If your looking to spend a bit more, I recommend
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130519

It's only 50$, and when you compare it to the GeForce 9400GT, it KICKS it's ass, it's actually a very, very nice video card for only 50$

Yeah... those stores do rip you off very badly. Never buy video cards from stores like that, ESPECIALLY wal-mart <_<
And your welcome =]
