Hmm my son bought a computor and well.. i said i would ask here.. anyone knows what kind of game is compatible with that? like Diablo 3? Or Rift or...
this is what he has:

Intel Core2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz, 2327 MHz, 2 core(s), 2 logic processor 4Go (RAM) ATI FireGL V5200 Secondary(?)

Thanks for any input

tks!

At least that gives an idea.. He bought that second hand for real cheap (250$) so he could not be too choosy....

Professional cards often support all of the gaming-graphics features that their non-professional counterparts do.  Its just that certain extra features are enabled (as already mentioned, for CAD, etc).  It doesn't have much video RAM, but should be able to run some newer games with limited settings.

Some of the best bang for buck at the moment for NVIDIA cards would be the GTX580 (or the GTX660 TI if you want a card that consumes less power, produces less heat).  I run a GTX660 TI myself.

When it comes to raw power, lots of people at work (at a major software company) recommend the GTX670 (instead of the GTX680), but I'd rather use a normal GTX680 instead of a "binned-down" one...

Tks Gil

I run with a GTX570 myself and play rift with all features at 100% without lag... but sadly he cant afford a new card.. he paid 250$ for the whole computor not just for the card

I am trying to drag him into Rift but he is still more of a console gamer then pc :/
He promised he would d/l the free version IF I could tell him in advance that it would work....
