Solid advice on PC graphics card needed

Between the jimny, gaming and aquariums too much cool stuff and not enough time or money
If you're going pc you need to commit I'd not pick up anything less than the gtx750

The razer does have that and you can flip slider switches to engage/disengage plus you can do even more to speed up the triggers. There are two programmable button profiles so you can set up configurations for different games. I need only one as I remap the D pad to the under buttons and remap the pause button to the front m button. I don't use my right thumb to pause a game or enter a drop down menu.

The two triggers underneath fall right to hand. I think the Elite comes with a few more toys but is apparently a lot heavier.

Don't panic, I possibly won't change from W7.

However, I believe I need to replace the AMD Radeon 5450. Do you agree? Let me put it another way, how poor is the Radeon compared to the GeForce 610 or 9800GT. Now I have fitted the 550w PSU I feel I need to upgrade something.

Above all I want the catalyst to work. If the 610 will do better than the radeon I'll fit one.

Should answer that question

Oh dear, not really. :ohmy:

It is a great link thanks but it is full of statistics; it looks like the 9800 is better than the 610. Have I got that right?

I clicked on the 9800GT version which is the one I can get for about £25



As I have the AMD 5450 installed now I need to compare the 9800GT with the Radeon 5450 - so is the 9800GT well worth swapping out my Radeon 5450 for?? Would it be £30 well spent??

One thing I should have mentioned is I do use that PC for is a helicopter sim - Phoenix - and I might get Realflight later.

Try this one it's much simpler just a single number to compare www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php

Brilliant thanks.
So the present Radeon 5450 gets a score of 231
The proposed 9800GT gets 726.
Your suggested GTX 750 ti gets an amazing 3687! :whistle: Double height though so it just won't fit.
So browsing the list I see a GT730 which is HDMI and looks like single layer. If I can't have the 750 would a 730 be good. If I can't have what I need for Fallout 4 and games I might as well get as good as I can for the PC??
