HELP! Should I buy a videocard?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I run FSX with all the sliders really low.

Only my airplane sliders are maxed.

Than I will get ~20FPS with the PMDG NGX.

 

My PC:

Windows 7

i5-3470 @ 3.2GHz

onboard graphics ( I know it's a shame:( )

4GB of RAM

64 bits of course

 

I want to improve my graphics and ad ad-dons without deceasing my FPS.

The best thing to do I think is buying a video card.

But which one? And how much is it gonna change my performance.

My budget is somewhere around €100. (=also $100 because video cards are more expensive in Europe)

 

Thanks for the help!

A video card might make it look better, it will not improve frame rates.

 

That is limited by your CPU speed.

 

Also, due respect, on your budget you are not going to get much of a card anyway.

Never argue with idiots.

They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

Actually, GPUs do affect frame rates too, and will definitely help when moving up from integrated graphics. Try for a GeForce GTX 750, if you can.
