I need to know which video card works for me (HELP)

[ResistanceGhost]

Hello friends, I need to know what video memory my CPU supports, this is what my Packard Bell imedia S3840 system has Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G530 @ 2.40GH z Type of graphic controller Intel HD Graphics 2000 Type of BIOS: AMI EFI BIOS version: P01-B2 Bus PCI 0, device 2, function 0 motherboard: Screenshot by Lightshot that's what I have for info, if you need more to know which one you can recommend me, let me know, I want to put at least 512 or 1 gb if it's possible, well, greetings to all

It has nothing to do with one thing or the other, like if you buy a graphics card with 3 gigas of ddr5. Another thing is that it is used in your computer.

[ResistanceGhost]

But I don't know which card works on my computer, I want to know which one you recommend knowing that my pc will have no problem having it, since I only have 128 mb of video and with that you can't play many games like Battlefield 3 or call of duty mw3, so what kind of card will work on my computer I don't want to buy a card that later works badly on my pc since it is incompatible

The graphics card is not everything when it comes to playing minimally demanding video games like Battlefield 3. You can put the best card in the world, but if you don't have a processor that is up to the task (as is the case) the card will be scratching its belly without being able to offer its full potential because the processor can't do more. The team has to be balanced. You need to have a powerful processor that supports a powerful card and, to a lesser extent, a solvent ram. Your team is not designed to play demanding games. It is designed to play occasionally, with little demanding games and without too many graphic details. Therefore, for that processor I would recommend a mid-range card (being generous), a GTX650 or HD 7750. Both are around 85/90€ and you will have more than enough for that processor... Although I warn you that playing with great graphics with that processor is out of the question. In fact, you barely meet the minimum requirements of the games you mention. Anyway, even a photo of the motherboard would give more information than the one that screenshot you added ;D Best regards.

Now that you know what you could put, it's better to take it to a store so they can do the dirty work for you.

Salu2!

PD: Playing with a G530... Uff!

That said, the team is likely to be scarce for current games, and games that go through the hoop will have to do so at a low-medium level of detail, depending on the graphics you put on it and how smoothly it runs, since it can't be much more powerful than the CPU itself, or otherwise the so-called bottleneck effect occurs and you lose performance in large quantities.

[ResistanceGhost]

Thank you very much for your answers, which processors would you recommend that are not too expensive but have good performance, since mine is not very useful

[ResistanceGhost]

Another question, which processors does my BIOS support?

[Kernel1.0]

If you do not say the model of your motherboard we cannot help you.

[ResistanceGhost]

I have these 3 infos from my motherboard, I hope it serves you

Although the computer itself is a small chestnut, I think you can put an i5 in it, and I also think that model of computer was sold with an i5 processor as standard. Always 1155 platform.
Although I would consider selling it by parts and buying something new. And as advice for posterity: Don't buy more pre-assembled computers.

Greetings

[Fassou]

I would also sell that tower, and then buy something more suited to the gaming needs you have.

Salu2!

I think that CPU would be suitable for cards like the 7770, 650Ti, even up to some more powerful ones, although the CPU is not very powerful, the 1155 architecture makes good use of the graphics.

I think that even a 660 or 7870 could work well, also cards like the 6970, 560Ti 6950 should go well, here one shows a G540 and a 7850, BF3 asks for a lot of CPU, in others it would go better.

GTA IV also asks for a lot of CPU and with a 460 it doesn't go too badly with a G530, I think the 7770 or a 650Ti would be perfect for it.

[Sylver]

For mid-range graphics it's not bad, it's not a bad micro at all, but I think a 6950 is already a bit risky.

I think if the one in the video has a 7850, the 6950 would work better, the 7000 series is more demanding, also a 560Ti would be good.

I say this because I know people who have put together cheap systems with that SB and had cards like the 560Ti or 470.
I think the ones that can ask for more are the 7000 series and the 600 and 700 in Nvidia, I mean cards like the 660, 7870,7850, 760 those are possible that they don't work at full capacity in some games, but the previous series yes I know people who have had systems like that for HTPC and with cards like the 560Ti.

The 7850 seems not to be working at full capacity, but it varies between 99 and 90%, and being BF3 I don't see it as bad since they are games that demand a lot of CPU, removing some Ultra options and putting less AA it's easier to maintain stable 60 fps, with COD Mw3 of course it should be able to play perfectly with everything activated, that one demands less CPU.
If you don't want to take a risk, then the 650Ti or 7770 that would be more than enough with your system, but the 7870 costs €149 and could be worth it even if it doesn't run at full capacity, it will run much more than what you have now.

I am more in favor of not building too much on preassembled equipment. First, I would change components, so I wouldn't have to worry about limitations and calculations. Then, when it comes down to it, the bottleneck is random, see stock quads that cause it in 6000 series graphics or see 5000 series that perform terribly on stock dual cores... Sometimes it's a bit uncertain or imprecise, and quite relative. Practical experience is, after all, the best way to clear up doubts.

Be careful, a Packard-Bell iMedia can be something like this:

or this:

so watch out for the expansion possibilities that depending on the case, you may have to do some fiddling or even in the smaller cases, resort to low-profile graphics. Another issue is the power supply, whether it's ATX or not (in the small case example, I'm sure it's not), and what connections it has for additional power to the graphics card, not to mention the power that in this type of computer may not exceed 300w.

A photo of the interior and the board, as Nemo rightly says, could give us more information.

Here is more or less the voltage it runs at Screenshot by Lightshot, I need you to recommend a card that will work on my pc, since it's not that powerful and the CPU is small, well here's a picture I found on google http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/k4qpJ3VHDPU/maxresdefault.jpg?feature=og oh and don't get my hopes up with a good card, I would be satisfied with running games at medium graphics but fluid, I don't want to play in poor quality anymore and thank you all for the answers.

@ResistanceGhost:

Aqui sale mas o menos a que voltaje va Screenshot by Lightshot, necesito que me recomienden alguna tarjeta mi si funcione en mi pc, ya que no es tan potente y la CPU es chica, bueno aqui una foto que encontre en google http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/k4qpJ3VHDPU/maxresdefault.jpg?feature=og ah y no me ilusionen con alguna tarjeta buena, me conformaria con correr los juegos en graficos medios pero fluido ya no quiero jugar en mala calidad y muchas gracias a todos por las respuestas

Funcionar lo hacen todas, tu socket no es nada antiguo, lo que te queremos recomendar algo que saques provecho, estoy de acuerdo con los compañeros que esos Pc clónicos tienen muchas limitaciones de ventilación, espacio o fuente, siempre es mejor montarse uno mismo el equipo y elegir lo que se necesite.

Pero si no puedes gastar mucho lo mejor seria meter una tarjeta como estas,

Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 OC 1GB GDDR5 GV-R779OC-1GD Tarjeta Gráfica
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC 1GB GDDR5 GV-N65TOC-1GI Tarjeta Gráfica
Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti DirectCU II 1GB GDDR5 90YV03B2-M0NA00 Tarjeta Gráfica

aunque seria recomendable que digas el tamaño de la caja y la fuente de alimentación que tiene el equipo.

Esas deben funcionar perfectamente con tu CPU, luego me parece que ese voltaje que marca el CPU-Z no será real, mucho voltaje para tan poco CPU, debe ser una placa OEM y no identifica bien los voltajes.

La tercera que puse la Asus mira si te entra en la caja, esas consumen poco, pero antes mira que fuente de alimentación tiene ese equipo.

@Sylver:

Yo es que soy más partidario de no construir demasiado sobre equipos premontados. Primero cambiaría de componentes, así no tendría que andar preocupado con limitaciones y cálculos. Luego a la hora de la verdad el cuello de botella es aleatorio, véanse quads de stock que lo provocan en gráficas de la serie 6000 o véanse series 5000 que rinden pavorosamente en dobles núcleos de stock… A veces es un poco incierto o impreciso, y bastante relativo. La experiencia práctica es al fin y al cabo la mejor manera de salir de dudas.

Saludos

Yo tampoco soy partidario de invertir mucho en equipos de estos clónicos, pero siendo un CPU socket 1155 yo creo que puede ir mejor que los duales 775, vamos creo que ira mejor que en un E8400, pues la arquitectura SB es bastante mas avanzada, la pena es no poder ocear esos CPU.

Pero yo le recomiendo para que se gaste poco dinero, la próxima vez que quiera montarse un Pc que se lo monte a piezas, que siempre podrá elegir mucho mejor.

También influirán los juegos, algunos son mas exigentes de CPU y contra mas potente la grafica peor, pero yo si me arriesgaría a meter una 650Ti o una 7790, creo que le van a tirar bien.

saludos

If it serves as a reference, on the company's PC#1 (which has a micro with a performance similar to the friend's Celeron), I can play Battlefield 3 with high details decently (when there is a lot of mess it gets stuck a little) and with medium details very fluidly. In addition, on that PC I have been able to play GTA 4 with high details completely fluidly.

These are the only demanding games that I remember having tried.
