Question

Graphics/Video Card Suggestions for a XPS 8300?

Apr 17, 2013 3:59PM PDT

Hello everybody,
I play alot of games that require a "good" graphics card and my computer isn't running the games fast and i have to turn the game's video settings to "ultra low" or "very low" in order to get a decent framerate.

Examples of games that i play are:
- DayZ (Arma II Mod)
- Warframe
- War Thunder
- (and soon) Battlefield 4 when it comes out

I'm new to most of this stuff so simplified answers will be the best answers Happy

I have an i7 processor

(if theres any other info needed please let me know)

Thank you for reading,
AsianWizard

That machine has build options.
What's in the machine now?

Gpu?......use device manager.
Psu?......read the label on the psu and post the numbers.

What's the budget?
