Video Memory

[Seabosz]

I have a question about the video memory when i look at the properties screen of my gpu it says it has total available graphics memory: 3327MB

but when i go play GTA V it says that it has only 1024MB

 

 

 

 

 

 

and another question, Should i upgrade my GPU? So yes? Wich one?

Total available is a sum of your GPU and RAM. You have 1 gig on GPU and 2 gigs on motherboard.

You have 1024 MB on the card itself. In addition you allow it to use 2303 MB of your (CPU) RAM. But this much slower so the game can't really us it.

Therefor you are limitted to 1024MB.

For the upgrade what would be your budget?

[TechSam]

GT630 oh god thats some seriously dated stuff. So yeah upgrade soon as possible. What your budget for new gpu would be you can get some pretty decent stuff for under 100 like my gtx 650 it does games decently most modern games need to be run on low but most games before 2010 can be run on max and some games after 2012 can be run on med to high

my budget whould be $300

 

iam looking to play GTAV, Call of duty

at acceptable FPS

 

 

 

 

UPDATE:

my brother says that this is a good GPU: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-3757-KR

And that i should spend the rest of the $300 on Mobo,CPU

$300 including GPU or after GPU?

[Seabosz]

including GPU

[R_Golden]

In that case you need to save up or cut the gpu down to something even cheaper which will give you TERRIBLE price to performance. If you can save to like 500 you'll be in much better shape.

i guess youre right but i might better build a new pc as this one being quite old

Get a Z97 MOBO instead of an H81 if you're going with a 4690k. You won't be able to OC without a Z97 or Z87 (kinda).

 

Just get 8 GB RAM instead of 16, 16 is unnecessary.

 

Don't get the 840 EVO. get an 850 EVO, or an MX 200, or a BX 100.

 

Other than that, it looks good.
