Mine needs to be replaced with a more capable one. It works, but I need to fiddle with the settings on some newer games and some just don't run.

best of luck to ya 

By the way, my graphics card was 120 dollars o_o

Sapphire Radeon HD 5570 1GB

Waay underpowered compared to some others said, but as long as it runs what I need to, I am content. NFS World has never looked or performed so well. Same goes with Spore and Divinity 2.

BWHAHAHAHAHA your graphics card pails in comparison (not really) to mine! my beautiful graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 5950! so far it can play any game (excluding crysis...) at max settings!

on a more serious note... nice graphics card, your's sounds only slightly less powerful than mine, so it should be able to run just about every game at max settings

OMG if that can't play Crysis at max settings, WHAT CAN? GeForce GTX 580  ? Btw nice card, that's like second best out there for ATI (cuz i think there's a 5970, lol), and it's REALLY FAT I hear

I think I should get a graphics card but that means a new motherboard. It will cost too much.

If I combined the 3 weakest computers in my house their total power would be.
4Gb's of RAM (Expandable by virtual RAM)
5 Processors. Ranging from 2Ghz to 2.7Ghz
1Gb of Graphics (Mostly Shared, 60Mb Dedicated)
Fastest LAN Connection speed 1 Gbps.

Even if I could make a computer cluster it could only play games to the end of the year.

lol is it really possible to do cluster computing like that? Don't you need servers and all that mumbo jumbo..

You don't need much.
A program is placed on each machine. Host and Slaves. All Computers are connected to a local network with static IP's.

I could only afford a nvidia 8400gt it works fine though    It can run quite a few games with decent frame rates 
I am thinking of re-building my pc anyway so I might upgrade it 

I was gana get an nvidia gforce 8800.

I never got into Crysis...all it is is a graphics card tester, no one I know plays it just to play it.

So, I am looking for a new computer game, and no, no Crysis.

I really need to get a new one.

I just downloaded Arcania Gothic 4, Mass Effect 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Crysis, and FIFA Soccer 11-- all demos (lol looong downloading time..). I got 50 fps the lowest on Modern Warfare, but ALL the others had 60+ fps on the lowest, with most at 80-95 fps for the high fps side. HOWEVER, Crysis (all maxed out, but no mods) at High settings gets 35-55 fps, something like that, and on Ultra High, I get something like 12-30 fps.

But I don't own any of these games. lol. I'm hoping to get Battlefield Bad Company 2 soon though

I don't even know which is my computer's graphics card... Maybe because I'm not into gaming at all

You could have a built in one. Most laptops do and cheap desktops do as well. The graphics card is built into the motherboard. Some CPU's now come with their own graphics. (eg. intel HD graphics on their Core i processors)

Maybe. I just checked and can't find any card, apparently I have a GMA x3000 on my motherboard

Crysis is just a graphics card tester?    Yeah, I guess you're right.

OMG I tried the Crysis demo and all I can say is.
COOOOOOOOOL.
And I'm not just saying that for the graphics.
The story is quite interesting looking.
Though I can only do the first level    lol
