[NBA] GPU for Pentium 4 HT

[LeGenD123]

I have this Pentium 4 HT @3.2 GHz. RAM 4 GB. If I get a GPU like 9500GT, 9600GT, 9800GT or better, would I be able to run games like MW3, BF3, AC - Revelations etc?

Yes, but performance will be very bad. Processor will bottleneck anything above GF 8600 GT.

I have used GF 8800 GS (on par with GF 9600 GT) on a Pentium D 2.8 GHz processor (915) and also on a Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz processor (E4500). The former processor severely bottlenecked my GPU. But with Core 2 Duo, it was great experience. FPS in most games doubled, and in some games; even trippled. Now you do the math.

Upgrade to dual core or c2d,it will cost you cheap and buy a good card whether 4650 is good card you can play such games in normal settings,or buy 8800

P4 is not good enough for GF 8800 series.

Any GPU above GF 8600 GT will be bottlenecked on P4 platform.

8500 gt is best for ur pc ....

Get a 8600gt/9500gt,for the meantime.
Although it will be better if you upgraded your setup.

[goldendays2003]

even for 8600gt/9500gt you would have to change your PSU. and I am sure collectively it would cost more than your complete pc.

46701GB in 3.5-4K will do best without up gradation in PSU n Pro,,
Personally i hav played using 3.0 HT Pro with DG41RQ+2GB KVR,,,it was better experience,,,,

​Leave to buy gpu first upgrade your pc then buy gpu.

There are so many OPs who just make a thread asking for help and go about there way..... not even thinking of the people trying to help them.
At least say thanks to these guys or if that's not possible answer their questions!

My suggestion, if your Mobo supports a C2D then get it for now. Processor comes first, GPU later.

i agree with WH4Y's suggestion and want to know which motherboard u hav ?
