johncharles Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 call of duty: black ops planning to install it, will my current Ati Hd3650 be sufficient enough to run it smoothly? Quote Link to comment
RockmanZero Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 call of duty: black ops planning to install it, will my current Ati Hd3650 be sufficient enough to run it smoothly? The minium requirement is:Shader 3.0 or better 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT / ATI (AMD) Radeon Radeon X1950Pro or better For the HD 3650, it may run, just not sure if it will run smoothly even on low graphic settings.

LacklusterSpark Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 For anyone who owns a GTX295, Have you encountered any problems with the on board ram? I've had mine for about 7 months before it developed a memory problem.. I was sent away to Palit back in December and its still in Taiwan.. Any tips on how to properly ask for updates from the warehouse? (other than buying a new card that is) Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment

What Ati series of gpu does it compare to? An nVidia GTS 250 is definitely so much faster than an aging HD3650. If you will upgrade, make sure you have a branded, true-rated PSU to back it up. I suggest getting a 600w model from any of the following brands: FSPCorsairXFXSeasonicOCZHEC To know which nVidia card is comparable to ATI in performance, google Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart.

Nalyd Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 your video card upgrade will always depend on your power supply. gtx560ti needs 2 6pin pin power connector and some video cards has none like 6850 of ati Quote Link to comment

I have a three year old Enermax™ 520 watts psu that has the required 6-pin power connector.the GTS 250 is doing great, I can max out the video settings on Nba 2k11, Black Ops, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Quote Link to comment
