My graphics card is on the top shelf. That’s pretty high.
This is the internet, you bible-thumping bimbo.
Besides, He wasn’t even being discriminatory*
How do you know he’s bible thumping?.. Perhaps hes bible tapping. Or bible stroking even.
And Win7 32bit?.. ewww. Might as well upgrade to 64bit while your at it.
upgrade. lol.
Idiot who thinks 64bit is an upgrade.
It isn’t? If you’re using more than 4gb of RAM, you need a 64bit OS.
The best bang for your buck you could probably get at this point would be two GTX 660 ti’s set up in SLI. Performance wise, one 660 ti pretty much a 670, but cheaper. And since a 670 is just a little less powerful than a 680 (which two of is a 690), then you’ll essentially get a little less than a 690, which is really fast. Of course, it’ll be a little less powerful than a 690, but it’s not like any game is required to have GPU that fast anyways.
All of this is assuming you’re upgrading your computer, which is probably a good idea. I good i5 Ivy Bridge is light years ahead of AMD. And you’ll need at leat 4gb of ram (preferably 6gb-8gb), and maybe an SSD for a boot drive if you have the cash, and a good ATX motherboard, which will allow you plenty of room for upgrade later.
lol! That douchebag Kaddo probably isn’t running more than 4GB of RAM. Whata maroon… :fffuuu:
It is and it isn’t. You’re still running the same OS, but you’re still enabling your computer to do more.
And come to think of it, why is there even a 32bit Windows to begin with?
We are talking about 32 and 64 bit not 4gb or more ram.
sigh… let me explain to you: 64 bit is not an upgrade, it’s not even an update. It’s just another version. You can have 2gb ram and still install a 64bit OS. Calling that an upgrade is stupid. Buying more ram <- this is an upgrade.
Because there has always been a 32bit version of Windows. There are only very few programs, which make use of more than 4gb of ram. 64bit OS also uses slightly more ram so installing it on just 2gb would be worse than 32bit. The difference is measurable. The stupid thing is that most software is still compiled in 32bit, which doesn’t allow it to use more than 4gb of ram even if you have more.
oops. double post.
Actually, under a 32bit OS, programs can only access 2GB of RAM, despite whether you have 4GB of RAM installed or not. Yes the system overall can access all 4GB, but the per-process limit is 2GB. While 64bit OS allows access to 8TB of RAM. So even 32bit applications benefit from an upgrade to a 64bit OS (yeah I said upgrade). And yes, modern day applications can exceed 2GB of RAM usage. I recall just recently of a game released that people were getting crashes with memory errors. Turned out the game used like 2.5GB of RAM and the people posting issues were running 32bit OS. Thus the memory crashes. The solution posted by the devs was upgrade to 64bit OS. 64bit OS also has increased kernel security.
So for all intents and purposes, yes it is an ‘upgrade’. Whether you think calling it an upgrade is “stupid” or not is irrelevant. Pretty much the entire IT industry considers it an ‘upgrade’.
EDIT: In addition… who the fuck only has a 2GB system nowadays? I find that point of your argument HI-larious.
Look at your stupid narrow mindedness. You think you know about all the computers of the world.
Let’s take a look:https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey
4gb or more makes up just 56%
Eh… yer selling yourself short, if you were a simple gamer, you would be playing Solitaire… or DukeNukenForever…
Complex gamers play DNF.
Oh well then… just forget everything is said. 
There…fixed.
for upgrade questions you better go to some proper hardware forum.
Here you won’t get proper answeres most the time and most people can’t even read apparently.(he said best GFX for HIS system not best GFX card of the world.)
32bit apps still can only allocate a total of 2GB of RAM, so 64bit OS doesn’t get you any advantages in 32bit apps.
Just try it yourself. get a C compiler and try to allocate more than 2GB.
sigh
Wrong.
One word.
largeadressaware
No wait, make that two words.
Skyrim
Get a new, decent computer.
yes there is the LAA flag, but it’s not used that often, mostly only seen it used for games.
Even then you can’t allocate the full 4GB anyways, because you still have you programm code and stack.
(btw, 3 words: large adress-space awareness)
