The first graphics card i bought was a dissapointment to the finest extent of ... lets just say it was able to run high octane performance games like solitaire, or software like paint!
Either way, the title says all.
Thanks in advance

| It's kind of a low-end card, it should be able to run games such as Counter Strike 1.6 maxed with max FPS and with a decent CPU maybe cs:s at low-medium settings at a low res with a decent frame rate.

Are you kidding me? A sewing machine will run CS 1.6 at the FPS cap. THE ENGINE IS 11 YEARS OLD.
CS:S will get eaten alive by it. It's not an amazing card, but it isn't going to have any trouble running something a game 5 years older than it is.

He's using it as an example as in a piece of shit PC will run it, but I think you know that are are just testing how far you can go before being warned/banned.

Thanks for the replies guys,
Well my old pc 1.6ghz... lol with its onboard intel stuff was able to play css with lag, then i installed this pci-e 10$ graphics card,ati radeon x200 i think and it ran css like a charm -normally-
Ive read reviews and stuff, and Yep, you are correct on its not a high performing card, but they say it gets the job done. And it "works fine" on 1024-768, any higher would basically cause trouble. idk but yeah.
I was on legit reviews or w.e its called and heres a quote from it
"Results: Call of Duty 4 with the graphics cranked up to 4xAA and the highest AF setting is tough on graphics cards, but the Radeon HD 4550 was able to play these intense settings at 1280x1024, but it did stutter a bit. If you turn off AA and AF the Radeon HD 4550 was able to play COD4, which was nice to see from a card that costs ~$40."
So im assuming 1024-768 = No problems
idk

| Truthfully, you will probably find much superior performance in the 4670 for a bit more. It's floating around $60 with mail in rebates on newegg.

Oh dam, well i was 10$ off from buying i think that one, not so sure but it did look more pleasing. I guess ill deal with this for now.
Im thinking of buying a 400-500 watt power supply - to go with the card-
And if i do that, i might as well save up for new pc while im at it.. beause if you see the one i have now.. oh dear god.. who would of thought a laptop fan would work on a 3ghz pentium 4?.
