danne Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 It seems like my graphics card died suddenly. Wich is normally kind of crap, but right now extra crappy as I probably won't be able to afford to replace it in a good while. But in the case I would be able to manage to pry some money out of my strict budget, what should I buy? * Money is an issue!!! * I want to be able to run arma 3 at least. * I have a monitor that runs at a resolution of 2560x1440, i want to keep doing that. As I really can't afford any extra monitors right now, i guess nvidia is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentes Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 What's the rest of your system like? Hard to give a decent recommendation if we don't know any more details. Otherwise, head over to Logicalincrements.com, find a level that's similliar to your system and see what card they recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennychr Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Im running a zotac 760 2gb non TI and i get decent frames on arma, i have a old i7 2600k non-oc and 8gb of ram.. i think that card has dropped in price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danne Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Amentes: Well, I'm not looking for anything to optimize my system. I really need to optimize my wallet here. A level similar to the rest of the system is way too much here. I want the bare minimum to run ARMA. Kenny: Well...that's like €200 on komplett? Did I mention price is an issue? I really, really mean it. :-( I have an asus radeon hd6870 something (broken) on a machine with a core i5 2500k overclocked to 4.3 GHz and 16 GB memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentes Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Whats much would you prefer to throw at this problem and how much would leave you starving? And what country are we talking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hench Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I can recommend www.novatech.co.uk very highly, I get all of my hardware from there and have not once had a problem. In particular this card may be of interest to you: www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/nvidiageforcegraphicscards/nvidiagtx750series/n750-1gd5oc.html Although that price seems reasonable to me, since you haven't shared your budget, there are also cards from the GT series available for £20/25 euros.

danne Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 I haven't shared a budget because I have none. I need to know what the cheapest possible shit is that can run ARMA and then think about if I can afford even that. It's that bad. Well, run ARMA and be able to output regular stuff in 2560 x 1440 digitally. My on board graphics can't even do full hd and uses a strange aspect ratio that don't even fill my screen. All application windows cover too much of the screen, I can't work like this. And the colors are bad as well, I guess that's from analog video signal.
