(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I can't afford to get a graphics card at the moment. How well do you think CoD 4 would be with a 2500K i5's built in graphics? And What are some good graphics cards I can buy which are under $150, Because I don't know how to tell if a graphics card is good or not.

A few come to mind.
ATI HD 5770
ATI HD 5750

Nvidia GTX 450

Im sure there are alot more out there, that's just what I remember from when I was getting a budget card a few months back.

As for you first question, it's one of those you are better off just trying it if you already have it.

No, no, no. You might get like 10 FPS. It's not enough.
Any of these should be good: You must login or register to view this content.

The 1GB ones are better.

Actually no you could, and you wouldnt get 10FPS, you wont be maxing out the game but you could easily play it:

I know the specs bro. I'm just saying it would be difficult to play. Processors are meant to implement physics into the game, and while they're busy doing that, they can't do graphics well.

Well I currently have a 2600k and I just disabled my video card and ran integrated, played the game just fine and there isnt a huge difference between the 2 chips. Like I said you wont be maxing it and you wont be playing on max res either

Well, if your a casual gamer it might be right for you. But if your a pro, you want your 250 FPS.

Too bad you dont see a difference past 60, so "pro" people are pretty dumb

Anyways I get a little over 300 on a shitty 5750

Alright cool, thanks 1_UP. I'll stay with the intergrated graphics until I can afford a good Video card.

You move faster and jump higher when you set your max FPS to 125, 250, or 333. 250 is the max in most servers though. Don't call pros dumb, they're called pros because they aren't dumb.
