video card is something that enables higher quality video. Say you buy one for 50$, it would run your computer fine (the computer your running the video card probably would cost this much). but if you try to play high quality games such as far cry 4, then you will need a much better video card, or it will lag. a ton.
im going to be building a new computer soon as well 😀
im going for the 700-800$ range (since i get a better job in the summer :D)
the video card im getting will probably cost 150, probably not as nice as banana’s but will be fine for running games. i believe if you are a high video editor, like adobe after affects a better video card will help.Good luck building your computer! Don’t get a virus like i did on my first computer xD
-jmillzI’m only going to be playing minecraft, and maybe FNAF 😮
youll get mabey 50 FPS with a cheap Video card tho
Rogue said with the hardware on that link I’ll get 200 FPS.. ?
Video cards dont determine fps a whole ton on minecraft unless your running shaders/a higher res texture pack. The CPU is more importent if your just playing basic minecraft without mods/high res stuff. Although its always good to have some sort of video card on your computer other then the one thats with your cpu (integrated). With integrated graphics + optifine and that CPU you’ll be fine for minecraft and FNAF though.
Hey don’t block Xavier he’s just trying to help me O_O
Don’t get Intel or AMD, they both suck ass. Get NVIDIA GeForce. Any version usually works, just make sure its compatible with your Computer Model.
@Ander
No video card, you wanted it just for minecraft. A Gtx 980 would just improve the fps by like 5 fps. The cost of the parts is only 480 dollars by the way, so it should fit your $500 budget.@Beretta
Intel integrated graphics is not for gaming, just for smooth physics, 2D gameplay, and light 3D graphic gameplay. AMD on the other hand, is cheap and reliable, but not as good as the Nvidia.Just to clear up something, Intel HD 4600 is not as bad as you think. It can run games from 2012 or 2013 fine, but it struggles on games from 2014 and 2015. Intel has released Intel Iris 6200, which is the fastest in the Intel graphics family. For comparison, Intel Iris 5200 is 3x as fast as Intel HD 4600. Intel Iris 6200 is 40% faster than Intel Iris 5200. 10 fps -> 30 fps -> 42 fps (when bottle necked by graphics).
The only time where you would need a graphics card for is: Heavy modding, texturepacks, and shaders. Since ander was only wanting to play MC, a graphics card wasn’t required.
@jmillz
Minecraft doesn’t make use of multiple cores (yet). I am able to run at 60 – 100 fps on a MOBILE processor. Mobile processors are low voltage. This is a desktop processor, it should easily outperform my mobile processor. My processor’s maximum TDP is 15 watts. The i5-4690K has a TDP of 84W-88W. Plus, he can overclock his cpu infinitely, since it’s an unlocked processor.@BananaKing
I originally put in an AMD Radeon 7700 for the GPU, but since Minecraft doesn’t require a lot of graphical power, I thought Intel HD 4600 graphics would be fine. @Ander, the radeon is just 100 dollars more.Ander please play FNAF 1,2 and 3 (when it’s released)
Yeah I might record gameplay ;3 (fnaf)
Nice i will watch it it is with voice or facecam right?
I’ll try to get my hands on a mic, but dat’s one tough feat m8 hehe 😛
Yeah i know that alright i want to do the same but with nintendo games.
Nintendo is a tough cookie when it comes to recording their games.
By the way, it’s much better to have a mic, than just having annotations/text-boxes on the screen, so I’d say wait until you do have a microphone.
FNAF works with better with facecam, because you can scream and flail your arms like a crazy-person and get super popular on YouTube; I’d say wait until FNAF 3 comes out until you do any, so you can go back and play them in numerical order. -
