I Buyed A Cmputer and i did a mistake...

My inglish isn't so good so forgive me plz.... lol

I Buyed a new Computer and i thout its a very good com until i saw that games like Crysis and Unreal III didnt work as i wanted it too be on a high resolution and textures...

I have an AMD athlon 64 X2 dual core 4000+

2 GB RAM and a dam GeForce 8400GS that a lot of people told me that it isnt good for new games... luckly Crysis and Unreal do work on it but not in high Res. NeverWinter nights 2 works bad... i think because the Dual Core 4000+.

How much time do u think i can "Live" holding on the new games that are being released?

if u guys tell me its very bad so ill guess ill upgrade it :\

Yeah, if you want to play new games you're going to need a new card. That 8400GS is really bad. Fignewton50

You could potentially run up your tab swapping out your CPU. Before proceeding down that road, you need to be absolutely certain you understand the pedigree of the system's motherboard and/or chipset. If you are on a socket AM2 board, and can track down its make, you may be able to dig enough to determine the upper end Athlon 64X2 that the board supports. If it supports it, you could make the jump to a 3 GHz processor or above. Trying to transition to an Intel Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad I think is going to drive your costs and level of effort required too high for a machine that you just bought, however unfortunate.

Check the power supply that the PC has installed. Then bounce that against ATi's and nVidia's sites for the power supply requirements for their GPU's. If you have the juice, grab an nVidia 8800 GT (if you can find a decent one in stock for a decent price). If you want to try ATi, try an ATi Radeon HD 3870 (the 3870 X2 just appeared, but I do not know when it will be on store shelves or available online).

If anything just buy a better video card.

I wouldn't have enough balls to even try running crysis&UT3 on 8400GS

i have an 8300 gs (dont ask why) and both games run fine on low, with some medium at 20+ fps
