Getting a new Graphics Card only no Idea which one to choose! - Hardware & Software

So yeah, as the title says I want to buy a [b]good[/b] GPU, but I only have 100 Euros for that, so I will probably get a ATI Card. I currently have a NVidia Geforce 8400. But playing Gmod with 30 FPS on construct is getting annoying >.> In case it matters on my Motherboard is written ASRock, ALive NF6P-VSTA. With PCI Express. So yeah, if anyone knows a good one for under 100 Euros, I would highly appreciate it! THanks in advance. Ps: I have a 550 W PSU!

Thank you, well I got that: 2x2.5ghz AMD Cpu 2G Ram and 500 gb HDD, something else you want to know?

[B]I read it as 2x2, as in 2x2=4. (Also, just because there's 2 cores at 2.5 Ghz, doesn't mean the CPU's at 5 Ghz. It doesn't work like that.) [/B] Well, the 4770 is quite perfect for a price that cheap.

but i have a quad core at 3.0ghz, and you're saying i don't have 12ghz? :ohdear:

Yes. That's exactly right. The number of cores aren't like a multiplier. It's divided processing power, in layman's terms. Allows for more efficent distribution of resources

So that means my quad 4ghz isnt 16 ghz :(

this is a sad day :ohdear:

Yer its not lollers :S Im not to sure on this stuff but thats not how it works and it looks like nub said its 4x1 ghz :<

Each core doesn't add upon itself. Hence the words "Quads are for multitasking"

Yerp. People don't realize it and immediately assume a quad core is better than a dual core all the time because it multiplies the clock speed. Sure quads can be better, but it's more useful for multitasking and other applications.

I'm 14 and I'm aware of that^^ Does this make me a geek :ohdear:?

Yeah the 8800GT is a great card and a low powered card. I'm using an 8800GT XXX alpha dog edition card and it's done me well for a while. Sadly it's time for an upgrade on my part.
