What is a good graphics card?

I am getting a new computer and i was wondering this computer has a Geofrce 6100 and the other 1 has a Nforce 4. Which card is better im useing it to run games im a big gammer but which one will give me the msot fps and run battlefield 2 ?

 

NForce 4 definetly!

 

Nforce is better like why wats rong with the 6100>?

 

I prefer the graphics it has more power.

 

will the Nforce run Bf2 and how much fps will it get in Coutner strike source like on a map like dust 2

 

I don't know that much.

 

damn i hope it works good

 

That is the graphics card I have and it always works good for me.

 

geforce 6100 is an integrated graphics chipset (graphics built-in to the motherboard) Nforce4 is a motherboard chipset that does not necessarily have integrated video, but uses PCI Express, so you need to add a PCI-E videocard. If you are a big gamer, you don't want to use integrated graphics, you want to use a separate videocard.

 

NForce is the best however.

 

Right, Nforce4 is the better solution, but both are Nvidia (aka Nforce) chipsets.

 

So what would you recomend he get?

 

yeah what should i get?
do any of those cards run battlefield 2
do they give alot of FPS?

 

wait is the Nforce just the chipset or a video card?

ps. on my comp bios it says integreated nforce grahpics
and the 6100 is integreated

if i get the nforce will i need to buy a card for it?

 

it all depends on what resolutions you want and your ram and cpu also... but for this game mostly gpu and ram

i had same thing-integrated 6100 on my machine so i put in evga 7800gt co and 1 more gb of ram and fell flat on my butt when i maxed the settings out... graphics are amazing, there are some environments in the game where i really cant tell difference if its the game or the real world... and no problems with fps whatsoever with settings maxed out ( btw not only bf2, also cod2, far cry and every new gen game - dont know about fear because i dont have it at this moment, i heard this one is taxing even high-end systems big time )

so to sum it all up for you...

if you are a big bf2 gamer get at least 7800gt and 2 gb of ram ( if you can afford it of course )

i was sceptical at first too but when i saw the difference in graphics between integrated 6100 and 7800gt it almost made me cry

( but first make sure that your mobo is pci express compliant )


good luck

 

I've had both, and I had a better experience with NForce.
