Answer» i would like to run team fortress 2 at a REALLY LOW setting and i have this: i would like to run team fortress 2 at a REALLY LOW setting and i have this: why would you want to do that? But anyway, if you really wanna do that ...check out this link http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?Lprice=0.01&Hprice=24.99&CatId=28 You have some awesomely sub $30 gfx cardsbecause i just used $60 on rams and i need to be cheap yet be able to play games can thoes card run tf2? i suck at thistf2 is Team Fortress 2 I assume so.... Team Fortress 2 Minimum System Requirements CPU: 1.2 GHz Processor RAM: 256 MB Graphics Card: DirectX 7 capable graphics card Windows 2000/XP/ME/98 Mouse Keyboard Internet Connection CD or DVD rom drive Team Fortress 2 Recommended System Requirements CPU: 2.4 GHz Processor RAM: 512 MB Graphics Card: DirectX 9 capable graphics card 256 MB Windows 2000/XP/ME/98 Mouse Keyboard Internet Connection CD or DVD rom drive Team Fortress 2 IDEAL System Requirements For running the game smooth in 1280x1024 with High Quality graphics. CPU: 3.4 GHz Processor RAM: 1024 MB Graphics Card: Radeon X800 or Geforce 6800 Windows 2000/XP/ME/98 Mouse Keyboard Internet Connection CD or DVD rom drive So as long as you buy graphics card that supports directx 7, then it will work. Since directx 7 is a really old technology, as directx 9 and 10 are what's out.... you should be able to get gfx cards like those from link i already posted and it'll run the game easily.awesome!!!! thanks for the help btw can you please post a link directly to a video card? because im not sure which one you are directing me to o.OWhat graphics port do you have? For example, PCI, AGP, or PCI-Express? If you don't know, what motherboard do you have?do this tell you what you need (someone told me to dl it)? i really dont know APG i THINK http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cpuze9.pngOK, can you please take the screenshot again, but on the "Mainboard" tab rather than the "CPU" tab?http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mainqp2.png do you have aim so we can chat? EDIT: i just opened up my case and saw a brown slot which i know is a AGP slotQuote from: smallkid on September 30, 2007, 02:02:16 PM http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mainqp2.png Yes, it's an AGP slot. You didn't have to take that screenshot though, as an Intel 8xx chipset can only have an AGP slot. It was a very poor choice to spend all your MONEY on RAM, as the Video Card matters a *censored* of a lot more. This is what you should buy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125039 It is more than you wanted to spend, but you will not regret this PURCHASE, that much I can say.Quote from: Jess607 on September 30, 2007, 08:07:22 PM
That is good card . If you really want cheaper cards. Although you can get $30 or less cards, you most likely can not run the game tf2 because you do have to have the 256mb. here are few more cards to consider from same site if you don't want to get anywhere close to $100.: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130197 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131227 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161151 Just to reiterate what the others have said, you'll need to spend much more than $30 to play modern games. How much RAM do you have now? And no, I don't use AIM.i have 1.2gb and it was not a waste of money i think the rams was a nice thing to buy not my computer is better. and i thank everyone for showing me the wayyes, you do need the ram. So at least 1gb is good. now, get yourself a graphics card. Just look at the $20 or $30 more than youre original budget of $30 and you will have a card that can run it, and can last you for a while. So you can't be too cheap on yourself. Otherwise you'll end up having to spend even more money to upgrade when you find out that your next favorite game runs like a snail.
