Is a 1024mb nvidia geforce gt220 graphic card good enough to play most modern games?

Yes, if you run them at a very low resolution. Take a look at this: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.a…|||hi eric

yes and no..it will run most of the latest games however you will be limited to low detail and resolution which would bother some gamers however it wont bother others

the geforce gt220 supports a 128bit memory interface and this is what limits this cards performance... a 256bit memory interface would perform better than a 128bit card and would allow higher detail and resolution...that said the 1gb of video memory on the gt220 is excellent

with the gt220 retailing at around £50 i have located the "XFX GeForce 9800 GT OC "( http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Othe… ) which retails for around the same price...however its specifications far outweigh the gt220

for example it has a 256bit memory interface and 512mb of gddr3 memory clocked at 900mhz(1800mhz ddr effective ) and with 64 stream processors and a 600mhz core clock this is a awesome budget gaming card,,and in tests it will run any of the latest games at medium to high detail and high resolution

however while looking for the above card i came across the "POV GeForce GT 220 512MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card "( http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component… ) which has better than normal speeds for this card

your average graphic card comes with whats known as "stock " speeds however some manufactuers overclock their stock speeds and in the case of this card you get a 625mhz core clock and 512mb of gddr3 memory running at 800mhz(1600mhz ddr effective ) and this extra boost will help when running the latest games

personally i would go with the 9800gt however if you are gonna get the gt220 then get the POV version above...the extra speed will help you especially with some of the latest games ( assassins creed 2, bioshock 2 )

i hope this helps,any problems let me know !

good luck mate !|||it will play games, but if you have a big monitor, or want to play with high graphics settings, you will want something faster. For around $100 you can get an ati radeon hd4850, which is about 3x faster than a gt220 and the best card for the money right now, if you want to stick with nvidia look for a 8800gt/s/x, 9800, 9600gso with 96 stream processors.|||I am not an expert but I think you would need one with more ROM on it. Check with Office Depot or any computer store for better information.|||yes, but it looks to be on the low side.
