Default Need help on a graphics card!
Hey guys, I'm looking for a graphics card that can play Warhammer Online smoothly without any fps drops ect; I've currently got my eye on the ATi Radeon HD 4830, what do you guys think of this card? will it play it smoothly?

My PC specs are

AMD Athlon x2 5200+
2GB Ram
ATi Radeon HD 4830 (<- maybe)

What do you guys think?

For a budget card, it is well worth the money. It will serve you well until you get into big games like Crysis. You should be able to max out your settings with Warhammer since, as far as i know, it is not as demanding as many games out there today.

The card at the right settings could certainly handle Warhammer.

However, your CPU could very well be the limiting factor.

If you can get your hands on a 4770, I would get that instead. They are hard to find though.

If he can max the game with a HD 4830 there's no point on grabbing a GTX 260. Also it would be a great budget increase following by a CPU bottleneck. Correct me if I'm wrong.
