Well i built my desktop like the other month i cant fully remember when and i decided for a while i was gonna use the Integrated GPU on my motherboard prolly till crysis came out and then i would get something beter like an 8800gts but a few things happened like i thought well i am not gonna be able to drop £200 on a new gpu before like at least december and then its gonna be X mas so i am not gonna be albe to either , ANd also i dunno if the rest of my rig would be up to crysis like my CPU and MEM ALso at the moment i couldnt game at all , not even simple stuff like the sims 2 would run without lag so i decided something was in order but not anything too expensive so i was haivng a look at what my local pc shops offered and i decided upon a £30 budged (60USD) and i looked and i Decided i was going to end up with something like an X1550 and i was corect i got An ATI Radeon X1550 512MB for just a lil less than £30 with 450MHZ core and a 266Mhz ddr memory speed
Its an OK card for the money , obviously it isnt gonna be able to run crysis although system requirements lab says it meets the minimum specs i aint holding out on that one too much . But for £30 i never expected 512mb and 450Clock with 266mem at all i was expecting something like a 250mhz clock but then i havent been payong attention to GPU's for a while now
And its running fine , I can run swat 4 on full and sims 2 , My one question now is does anyone know any kinda games i could run now , My rig is
Amd Athlon X2 4000+ 2Gigs DDR2 800Mhz ram Ati Radeon X1550 512Mb
ALso i dont mind if i cant quite run it on full just as long as i could run it on any setting at all with decent FPS
