Need Graphic Card Help

[gaymer77]

I'm trying to find a cheap upgrade for my computer and for my boyfriend's computer that will run a couple games we play. I'm not sure of what is an upgrade and what's not but I'll post below what my dxdiag says I have. Also I'm not what is the actual graphics card and what is my processor because I think I was once told I have an intergrated system or something like that. The recommended settings for one of the games we want to play is:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
Intel Core2 Duo E6750 2.66GThe recommended settings for one of the games we want to play is:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
Intel Core2 Duo E6750 2.66G

We're on a budget so anything you can find on the cheap is all the better.

I know you dont wanna hear it but you really need a whole new system upgrade, a GPU wont do much for you. The CPU in your machine is so slow some tablets made today are faster.

[Knslyr]

AMD Radeon HD 6370D and 2,4 Ghz CPU? It really looks like you should build another system from scratch.
I take it you don't even know what parts you have in your current system since you posted the System information rather than posting the parts.

I recommend building a new PC. If you want to do that, provide budget (per PC) and what game you wish to play, and at what settings you'd like to run it at.

[gaymer77]

I know we need a whole new system but that's not within the budget atm but getting a graphics card which can transfer over to a new PC if needed is within the budget. That's why I came on here looking for help finding one since I can't tell what graphics card is an upgrade or not.

Ok just know some games you wont see much increase in performance with just a GPU upgrade.

This is a solid entry level card, i dont suggest spending less than this on a GPU as the price/performance ratio gets poor:

What about for him?

[Master Guns]

You really aren't going to see any performance increase with just a budget gpu upgrade.

[Knslyr]

What about for him?

We cannot recommend a GPU when we don't really know his system. What PSU does he have?
Also, it seems to be old systems. Plugging in a brand new GPU when the system might have a PSU that is ready to give up is risky. And you won't see much improvement from a single GPU upgrade anyway.

Put aside some money each month until you can afford a new build.

[Master Guns]

Yeah, gonna agree with Knslyr. It just isn't worth it. You're throwing money away that you won't be utilizing in a new build anyway, just a quick bandaid fix. I really can't recommend that.
