Graphics cards fps?

Hi

I currently have a nvidia geforce 6150se nforce 430 onboard graphics. When i play brothers in arms it almost shudders and movements aren't smooth. I thought it was the fps and as i am going to buy a new graphics anyway so what graphics should i get that is quite cheap, under 鎷?0

is the fps determined by the speed of the graphics card

and is this a good card?

is it woth getting one up

or is this 1 the best

What should i go for and are any of these actually any good?

Thanks

Graphics cards fps?

hi mate

these are good cards and will be a massive improvement over the onboard nvidia 6150 graphics

fps or frames per second is determined by many factors but the core clock and memory speeds are the main factors,especially the core clock as this is the brains of the card or the gpu(graphics processor unit) and a fast clock speed will mean faster rendering and thus faster frame rates

memory speed is also a important factor as the speed of the memory determines the speed at which the information is delivered to the gpu from the video memory

other imporatnt parts and specs of the graphics card is the memory bandwidth,this is the speed at which the graphic card communicates with the rest of the pc,and also pixel pipelines(or stream processes in the latest cards),the more pixel pipelines the better the card

also pixel and shader model(or also known as "shader model") is a factor when buying a gaming card,pixel and shader models start at model 1.0,and 2.0.then the latest cards use shader model 3.0 and the latest is shader model 4.0 and 4.1

the best of the above cards is the radeon 3650 as this is shader model 4.1 compliant,however in my opinion you would be best going for the radeon HD2600XT ,this is a excellent card and has a very good clock speed of 800mhz(fast) and a 1400mhz memory clock speed,these are seriously fast specifications,and the 2600xt is also a great multimedia card aswell

as for the 2600pro,allthough this is a decent card its nowhere near as good as the other two and will stutter were the other two fly through games and applications

my opinion:go for the HD2600XT..awesome card and lightning fast speed..great buy !

any problems let me know

good luck mate !

those are all nice, you will definitely notice a horrendous difference in frame rate, because on board graphics aren't meant to run games at all. when deciding, look at which has the highest gpu clock and shader clock. these measurements are more important than the memory size.
