first off, we'd need to know if you need an AGP or a PCI-E graphics card

Please see the pinned post at the very top of this forum for the video card guide. It depends a lot on what you have, but generally when you upgrade you go 3 level up to get the most benefit.

Please go to the Start menu, Run and type in dxdiag. Once this launches please click on the display tab. Here it will tell us the make/model of your video card.

This is my system info and info on my current graphics card. So just wondering if there is anything better out there specifically to run games like World of Warcraft better?
cheers

do u know if its good for WOW

it'd be great for WoW and most of todays games. WoW will run great at max settings, and if it doesnt, it's not your video card that you needed to upgrade (although i think it is)

it already runs pretty fine, just sometimes i get a bit of bad fps when im around alot of players and action. Hope a better GFX card will make that even run smooth as!

the GFX card will help, but it might just be that your internet has a high ping when there is a lot of activity going on.

na im pretty sure its also FPS, because it tells me my ping and FPS and the FPS goes lower when alot of guys and action are around
#13
Posted 22 July 2007 - 07:10 PM
but does your ping go higher?
#14
Posted 22 July 2007 - 07:15 PM
na stays the same. If it goes higher due to the server lagging or my internet being slow. I will get high ping even if im not around any players

not true, your ping could be around 100 normally, but since it has to get pings from the server from 100 people, it takes more bandwidth, and will cause your ping to increase.
