Buy GTX 680 for awesome performance else buy GTX 480 for normal performance which can be adjusted with your PC specs.

Get a new mobo first, one that supports core i3 or i5 depending on your budget.
Get either an i3 or i5 processor.
Get at least 4GB RAM (preferably DDR3)
Now get the GTX 560 / 570 and you won't bottleneck.

I'm currently using GTX 560,and because of that card,I sold my old PC and bought all new set. AND get at least 4 Gig of ram,lots of games lags even on serious PCs because of low ram. Agreed,I have I7 2600 + GTX560 and even I have problems on highest settings,I'm having 30-40 with highest shadows and little bit high distance view. |

Why does everybody think that GTA IV requires strong computer parts ...
even radeon 5450 512MB can handle that shitty graphic.
(unless you're running it on high resulotion,otherwise,don't see the reason)

if you want to play GTA IV at Decent settings, then you should rather buy a good CPU than a good graphicscard.
Dont listen to the most people so far, i dont even know how they could write crap like that o_O
If you do not have much money, you should go for an AMD CPU not Intel. You should look for an AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition and then the right Mainboard & Ram. You would save alot of money for decent power. Buying a i3 is just stupid oO
Re: AW: buying a new graphic card (help) - newbienoob - 20.08.2012
Well... which one is better? intel core i5 or AMD Phenom II 965 because I was planning to buy i5.

If you have like 1200Euro, you should grab an i5 or i7 CPU.

AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core is ranked at the 383th place and cost 110$ also its counted as mid-end cpu while Intel Core i3-2120 @ 3.30GHz is ranked at the 198th place and cost 109.99$ also its counted as a high-end cpu.
so you're comparing here a high-end cpu with mid-end.

i wouldn't compare the price's,because every country has their price for that proccecor.

But after 60fps gameplay it's hard to play on 30fps,So yea... it's a mid card.

why would someone spend his money on low performance proccecor while he can spend almost the same amount of money and enjoy higher performance ?

Oh if you don't believe at any way:

My X6 1090T runs at 5.4ghz currently. Combine a motherboard with great overclocking abilities and a great overclockable(is that even a word?) CPU and you'll have the fastest processor ever if done properly in terms of cooling and knowledge. I recently done a few benchmarks with my CPU, it was 37% faster than the latest i7.

you can't keep overclocking your computer every time you want it to be faster.
it will simply burn up some day,the overclocking making the proccecor hotter which means it requires a faster and cooler fans.
if you're overclockin it in mineral oil,then you've less chances to burn it,otherwise it will slow down by the time.
the i7 is faster & better without overclocking,which means it will servive longer than overclocked amd fx proccecor.

You've told us it was at 5.2 Ghz, right now it's at 5.4 maybe next week at 6Ghz ?
Please just show us some screenshots like core temp, cpu-z, those benchmarks and whatever because I'm sure your CPU can't beat one 3960x also hexa-core that easy...
Oh and it would be nice to have a picture of the interior of your case because it all seems fake since 2 6990's would pass the 1000W mark with some games and you say you have a 700W PSU...

I wrote AMD Phenom II 965 which is NOT AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core. He wants to Play GTA 4, which is optimized for Quad Cores and you want him to buy a Dualcore or what?. So shut your trap and read & think before u write something.
