Improving Game Performance - Upgrading Your Graphics Card

If you want to play the latest computer games, you need a gaming video card. These types of video cards are high-end PCI express graphics cards that offer a bundle of nifty features. They have more memory and faster speeds.

You can usually tell that your old gaming video card is not up to par with your immersive computer games if you notice game lags. Gaming problems can manifest as choppy graphics, long loading and waiting times and poor frame rates. Choppy games can be very distracting and frustrating for gamers, especially in areas where speed is of the essence.

Gaming video cards require a lot of RAM to run demanding 3D games. If you are using an integrated video card, your computer borrows uses your system RAM to store data that it needs to run your game. When your computer runs out of RAM, it uses your hard drive which is very slow compared to the RAM. Thus, the game lags.

You can get a better performance by upgrading your low profile graphic cards and replacing it with dedicated ones. Unlike low profile graphics cards, dedicated graphics cards have their very own video RAM. This is different from your system RAM. Consequently, these cards can handle more memory and manage more applications than your old gaming video card.

High-end dedicated PCI express graphics cards can come with 256MB to 1GB of video RAM. That is a big boost to your system RAM. So these cards will naturally make your games run smoother and faster.

RAM is good for your computer so the more you can get, the better. For best results, get a high-end PCI express graphics card with plenty of video RAM and, at the same time, increase your system RAM. You will have a better gaming experience!
