Brothers Graphic Card

kingfetkingfet Member Posts: 92

So I am going to buy a new video card for my younger brother. He is currently using a Geforce 7300LE.

Core Clock: 450 MHZ

Pixel Pipelines: 4

Memory 256MB 64bit DDR2 Clocked at 650mhz.

Will all of these give him a performance boost playing wow? Also which do you think is the best?

    yes they will all give him a performance boost.  However, I would nix the 8500GT.  nVidia hasn't made a good mid-range card in some time.  Its good to note that WoW is far less graphically intensive as it is memory intensive.  Getting more Ram will probably have a greater impact then a new video card.

    He has three gigs of memory the thing that makes me the most nervous is on the first, do 12 pixel pipelines seem like an awful lot for a small form factor, card. There are also no reviews, and I cannot find info about that model anywhere else.

    Also which do you think will give the best performance out of the three?
