Is this computer good for computer gaming?

XPS 8100

Intel Core i5-750 processor(8MB Cache, 2.66GHz)

8GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 4 DIMMs

1024MB nVidia GeForce GT220



What games can I play in high quality? Fps? Benchmark? im buying this for around $825 which is 940 including tax, are there any better models out there?|||It's fine minus the video card, which is fairly low end. Put a $100+ video card in it, such as a Radeon 4850 or GTS 250 and you'll be fine.



Also, if that's USD, then it's overpriced. You could build your own with a better video card for less. 8GB of RAM is also overkill. 4GB is plenty for gaming.

PC HD4670 PCS or Inno3D GT220?

Which is stronger and more durable?|||The HD 4670 is a better card.

I have my computer connected to a projector, but no image appears when I play Call Of Duty Black Ops?

I recently connected my computer to a Panasonic LCD Projector (PT-AE500E), and I am able to watch movies, browse the internet and do all regular tasks. However, whenever I attempt to play Call Of Duty Black Ops, I get a blue screen on the wall indicating no signal from the Computer. I don't know how to fix this. My graphics card is a GE-Force GT220|||I personally think your projector doesn't support that kind of a graphics card when worked to its maximum capacity. The Call of Duty Games push most computers to the limit and I believe your projector simply can't keep up with the graphics of the computer.



The only reason you are able to use the projector to browse through the internet and do regular tasks is because the graphics required are often low (even when viewing HD youtube videos). When playing a game such as Call of Duty Black Ops, however, the graphics card is often pushed to its absolute limit and this limit may surpass that of your projector.



Note: It may also be a factor of the game itself. It is possible that the call of duty games do not support the use of a projector and they may block the signal when the game is being played.

XFX HD4350 1GB VS. EVGA GT220 1GB?

i bought the EVGA GT220 1GB, but i was also looking at the XFX HD4350 1gb, because it has HD. my computer is this: dell dimension 8400 cpu 3.6GHz HT, windows XP media center. 4gb ram (xp 3gb only). i play half life and ARMA and COD. but i would like to know if the xfx is better? my ram is DDR2 not DDR3. so i dont know if that makes a difference in graphics?|||Cards make a difference yes but you may also want to get windows 7 so that you can take full control of your RAM and begin to use all of it. Next thing, try upgrading the processor. the gigs on it are nice, but if you really want a boost try going for quad core.



Good luck!|||DDR2 or DDR3, only matters if it is on the video card.

Want to replace nvidia gt220 graphics card.?

im wanting to upgrade my gt220 with a new graphics card. i have a 400 watt psu and i am NOT upgrading it. im wanting a nvidia gpu because some of my games use physX and im not wanting to spend all my cash on a expensive graphics card. my price range is no higher then $150.



ive been looking at the: gt240, 9600gt, 9800gt or something like those that will work on my 400 watt psu and not destroy my wallet.|||The best you can do on the Nvidia side with a 400W psu is the GeForce 9800GT. Just be sure to get a 600Mhz model. The 550Mhz versions are low power "green" editions which don't perform as well.



In terms of performance, the GeForce GT240 is dead-even with the 9600GT but is a newer more energy efficient design, so it only needs a 300W power supply. Both of those cards are slower than the 9800GT.

To go any faster you'd have to replace the power supply (which isn't difficult and only takes about 5 minutes). The GTS 250 requires a minimum 450W, so do ATI cards of that level- the Radeon 4850 and 5750.



Here are a couple of full-speed 9800GT cards:

The next step up would be this combo:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||9600GT or GT240 won't be a very huge

upgrade for your current gt220.



since you have got the

budget of $150 and

those cards are in the

range of $85-90.9800gt is the good

choice for 400 watts

psu and it is faster

than both of them so

it is a good upgrade

for just $90.



but with $150,you can get 500 watts psu and

Radeon hd 4850 which is 40-50% faster than 9800gt.

get a coolermaster

extreme 500 watts

psu for $40 and hd

4850 for $100 from newegg.com.that would be a better

upgrade for gt 220.

both in $140.you even can get better cards

in future with 500

watts psu.



for Physicx,still you

can get gts 250 less

than $120 and it is

better than 9800gt.

still that would be in

$160 since gts 250 needs 450 watts.if you just need

to keep the psu,then

9800gt is the best

option for 400 watts

psu.

Does 1024MB nVidia GeForce GT220 Video Card support DirectX9 or higher and Shader Model 2 or higher?

Yes it has Direct X 10.1 and should have shader model 2 or higher. Well hope this helps

Urgent! I need to know if my motherboard accepts the nvidia GT220 (A740GM-M)?

Need to know if my motherboard accepts the nvidia GT220 A740GM-M is the urgent need to know please to go tomorrow to buy the GT220|||The NVIDIA GeForce GT220 uses a PCI-E 2.0 bus. This is compatible with ECS EliteGroup's A740GM-M motherboard which has an x16 PCI-E slot.
