I wanted to know is it possible that my current rig be upgraded so i can be able to play current game atleast on the lowest setting or will i have to change my whole setup including new motherboard,cpu,card,ram and casing etc.. The reason i am asking is that i was wondering that is it possible that i increased my ram to 2GB(On My Current AMD only DDR1 is supported) and change my vga card and still be able to play game or will i have to buy totally new setup because in that case i will probably require atleast a budget of 50,000 or more.

If i decide to change VGA Card only and maybe upgrade my ram from 1.5 to 2 GB what VGA Card should i go for with my current configuration? Budget in this case is flexible and i can spend if needed greater than 10K .

I do have cash but i just started work few months ago and i don't want to spend majority of that on a 50K System i may think about that down the line in maybe a year or two later but now i would prefer if i don't spend that much right now.

Going high on AGP is unwise. Get a X1650 Pro or 7600gs for around 5500-6000rs. It should handle most games at med. settings and low resolutions. At least, you would be able to play 'em.

Or, you could look for a used high-end card(like I am) and grab it cheap.

But can i install these vga cards(X1650 Pro or 7600gs or any other card in the range you mentioned) on my current system or will i have to buy a new rig for these cards also?

These are AGP cards so they will sit in the AGP slot on your existing motherboard in place of your 6200.

Check here at galaxy for available AGP cards:
www.galaxy.com.pk
HIS X1650Pro 512M IceQ is available here at 5800rs, this is recommended in this price range.

Also try from AGN, they also have AGP cards, both NVidia and ATI. They might have cheaper prices.

like Abdul Rafay says, better collect cash fornew sys, no use spending on the AGP, cause upgrading you card will also require a new PSU as well.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
