I have e a computer but when playing games like call of duty and battlefield i cant play them on best quality without there being a big lag and slow game feel
Is it just my graphics card i need to upgrade??
This is the spec of the computer
Windows 7 ultimate
Ram: 4GB
64 bit os
CPU: Intel Core2 Quad CPU @2.50 ghz
Graphics Card : NVIDIA GeForce GT 220
Also what motherboard could i buy that i could fit everything i have with more dim slots/?
Your specs are fine, it just sounds like you need a fresh install of win7 or you need to do some serious decrapifing and system optimization. i highly suggest running the djtt win7 optimization script before gaming, it makes a big difference in framerate
really? I’d say both your cpu and graphics card are pretty low spec for modern games like BF3 and MW3. I’ve got a Core2Duo E8600 overclocked at 3.5ghz (fastest C2D you can get) with a GT210… I wouldn’t even try running BF3 on that. Admittedly, games like BF3 will use your quadcore to better effect these days but it’s still no match for a modern i5/i7 (imho at least)
You’re not going to be able to play newer games at the best specs with that system. I’m running a 6 year old system that I’ve slowly upgraded over time, and right now I am thankfully playing Skyrim on Medium. I am running a 8800 gt and a AMD 4200+ dual core processor. Of course, I don’t like to spend tons of dough on systems.
I think your cpu is fine, but I would prolly go with a gpu upgrade first if you want to try and play at better settings.
your PC is fine except this incredibly not gaming orientated graphicscard of a G220 when you upgrade keep in mind thought that basic systems like that usually have very weak PSUs installed and you might wanna figure out what it can output and what kind of connections it sports. the G220 from what i recall from the top of my head uses no additional power connectors while for example the 560Ti requires your PSU to at least have 2x 6pin power connectors.
That is a very nice card, but you will have to be aware of power requirements at that point… also to piggyback on what cybertrash said, the 460 is a nice card, I have the MSI 470 and I have very little problems running anything new on high or ultra settings at 1080p…
