I tried installing some games such as Sims 3 and Diablo 3 but for some reason the games just suddenly shut down. I was told that I needed to change my video card. What video card is recommended for gamers?
Hello Nowell,
Thanks for nice question, so far the best video card that are being sold in the market is the GeForce GTX 690 which was created by Nvidia last May 3, 2012. This video card is very fast with a small cutback on the core clock of 915MHz as an alternative to 1006MHz. However, it still has similar 1502MHz memory frequency.
Nvidia has given a lot of time to build the most efficient video card that will utilize less power based on its performance. You can regulate the power and clock speed. But it depends with the real time application requirements. The GeForce GTX 690 consists of GPUs that over clocked outside the 1200GHZ that creates the best graphical performance in terms of video games for PC.
Aside from being the first dual GPU created on the coming generation, the GeForce GTX 690 the plotted memory will allow the 4GB GDDS to attain the memory of up to 6GB/s.
With that I recommend you to look no further , use GeForce GTX 690 for the best results.
Good time.
Wow, what a coincidence, i encountered the same problem with my computer for the last 2 weeks and i have been searching the web for the right and accurate answer and here it is. Gees, thank you for asking the question quincy nowell, if you haven't asked about it, I too would have not found the solution.
And most thank you too mr. Robert Duncan for that wonderful, and undoubtedly best answer. The truth is I have been looking for the best video card there is for my computer which offers the best quality for gaming. Thank you very much for this website that i have stumbled upon, which i found to be a great help for my dilemma.
Thank you very much all of you
That problem normally happens when you are using a built-in video card on games that require big video RAMs and higher OpenGL version support. Here are the specifications or system requirements of the games you mentioned. The game “The Sims 3” supports Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1.
It requires 2 GHz or faster Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent AMD processor, 1 GB RAM, video card with 128 MB video RAM and Pixel Shader 2.0 support, sound card, and 6.5 GB free space. The game “Diablo III” supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10 with the latest Service Pack.
It requires 2.8 GHz or faster Intel Pentium D or equivalent AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor; 1 GB RAM for Windows XP and 1.5 GB RAM for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10; Intel HD Graphics 4000, NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT, ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT, or better with 256 MB video RAM, Pixel Shader 3.0, and Vertex Shader 3.0 support; and 12 GB free space.
Now, see these system requirements particularly the video card. You won’t see this on an average built-in Intel HD graphics adapter. To fix the problem and avoid triggering the error again, buy a dedicated video card.
