Your card sucks. Get something over $150 for good results :)

not by a long shot.. the gt200 series ( 205, 210, 220, 230, 240 ) are rebagded 9000 series (9300gt, 9400gt, 9500gt, 9600gso, & 9600gt) which are rebagded gf8000 series cards (8400gs, 8500gt, 8600gt, 8600gts, 8800gs)

your gt210 = 9400gt = 8500gt

so you actually have one of the lowest quality cards money can get you.. in fact as noted above your digital watch MIGHT be faster :P

i recommend an upgrade haha

Your c2d isnt a great problem but you may consider more than 2 cores for gta4 or bfbc2.your gfx cant quite cut it for newer games.well i was just wondering what genius in nvidia came up with 1gb version of this card.

GT210 is a rebadged 9400GT which is a rebadged 8500GT. Basically, it's a really old card that was low end 3 years ago.

yep system is overall too slow, pc gaming takes money, gotta have about 1K per 1-2 years to spend on it in order to keep up effectively.

Yeah i was pretty quick at changing it wasn't i... and don't call me a monkey but yeah 210 is fairly weak these days, especially on GTA4.

Heres a link to your card compared to my 5770 which itself should be considered an entry level gaming card for this day and age: Here

I spent £750 2 years ago and still don't need to upgrade. PC gaming is as expensive as you want it to be.
