Q. I play the sims game and I want my computer game to be faster and it says to have a bigger RAM and a good video card or something and I dont know if this is something that needs to be installed or do i have to make changes within the computer to do so.
A. You would have to purchase new components to upgrade the RAM and video, although it really depends on what kind of computer you have now. Most desktop computers do have expansion slots to upgrade, but some don't. Some computer motherboards have integrated audio/video/network components that should be disabled if you're going to upgrade. The form factor of your board could also be an issue. Check with the manufacturer of your computer to see if this is an option or if you have a custom made computer, get in contact with whoever built it. Some parts houses will install your hardware for a fee, so if you're not familiar with hardware installation, I'd recommend you have someone do it for you. Also, check your SIMS game to see what the recommended computer hardware configuration is. If your computer is upgradeable, make sure whatever you buy matches that. Good luck.
What video card would you recommend for a reasonable price?
Q. I am planning on building a custom computer for gaming and audio production when I get some money. I currently have the Nvidia geforce gts 450 video card, it is alright but I want an upgrade. I am wondering what video card you would recommend. I'm not able to spend a thousand for a top of the line one or anything. Maybe 300-500 dollars max. I am wanting to be able to play games like Bioshock Infinite, Crysis, battlefield, etc. with full or near full graphics (Crysis might be pushing it a bit seeing how my current card can run most games from a few years ago on full settings and not Crysis 2 on lowest.) So to recap, $300-$500 video card that can play games on high-full settings. Thanks a lot for the help!
A. Best card on the market right now in the $300 dollar range is the HD 7950. At stock its pretty good, but once it over clocks is where it really shines. Can max every game out (Crysis 3 the only exception with slightly lowered MSAA), and runs very cool.
The 660ti for $275 or so will perform slightly better out of the box. But trust me, stick any of these two together and get a max stable over clock and the 7950 wins hands down. It competes with the GTX 670, and even the GTX 680 out of the box.
You won't possibly get better bang for your buck then the 7950. I would highly suggest ether Gigabye or Sapphire as the vendor. They have the best cooling solutions.
Also go to AMD's website to see if there are any retailers you can use to make use of the free games promotion when you buy 7900 series cards (Crysis 3 and BioShock are free).
