Hi im getting a new computer and i just wanted to know which 1 out of these 3 graphics cards would handle Cod4: 256MB ATI® Radeon™ HD 2400 XT graphics card 256MB ATI® Radeon™ HD 3650 graphics card 256MB ATI® Radeon™ HD 3450 graphics card
I have read some great things about the 3450 but there are newer chipsets and have you considered Nvidia its my gaming preference I seem to get more frames per second using Nvidia but then again everyone has a preference. Giving your system specs might help myself and others to better assist you. I currently use Nvidia 850gt pcie and the latest drivers which I might add made a big difference in my games after Nvidia had problems for almost a year creating effective drivers for Vista.
they will all be able to do it i would take the 2600 out its not as good as the newer ones there.. but nivia cards for the same price alot better im useing an ati 4850 went from a geforce only person to ati and wish i never did.. 4 4850 later pain in the rear going to drop some good money on a geforce 280gtx
Looks like the schills are out tonight. Way to compare a 480$ card to a 170$ card idiot. Anyways, as great as ATI's desktop cards have been lately, the mobile GPU's still go in nVidia's favour. All those cards are pretty weak, with only the 3650 really having a chance of playing the game on lower settings with a decent framerate. Here is a link for a good reference page. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html
It's up to you. nvidia's mobile chips are very unreliable, but this is a desktop so you *should* be alright - no promises. The HD3650 is the best card out of all those options (including the 8600GT and 9300GT)
How much are you planning on spending on your laptop? It might be worth it to buy a cheap laptop with a decent CPU, and build a desktop rig for gaming. I spend 1500$ on my first laptop and all it had was a gibbled 128mb 6600 GeForce Go in it. Wish I could have gone back and spend 500$ on a cheap laptop and 1000$ on a desktop.
Ah, the first batch of cards made me think he was going mobile. Not so much with the 9300 though. Probably will never find out now.
ye guys i think ill go for either a geforce 8600gt or the ati 3650 cause der cheap cards and they are fine to play cod 4 and stuff i just found out. my mate has the geforce 8600gt 256mb and that works amazingly online and campaign no lagg what so eva. im gettin a Dell Dimension 530. Thx for your help guys
