i got that card friday for testing purposes for videos and the fun, but when i come to sell it, i might make another gaming computer of oldish to put it in rather than sell it on its own, but obviously would want something decent to not make it a waste.
 
ha okay thanks for that, so even a core2duo 5300 or something wouldnt then?, dont own one, but a lot of cheap computers that are not gamers have core2duo of various models.
 
27fps on the division in the benchmark on high preset, 22-40fps during actual gameplay. and never went over 1gb vram and was 97-100% usage.


would say i show you a video, but i cant seem to find the benchmark one and fraps hasnt been showing so i need to look in to it.
 
Trust me it plays just fine 27 onwards, hell it played well at 15-22 fps on my 560, obviously there's stutter, but nowhere near bad that you can't play the game like for example trying to play BF4 on Intel 4400 graphics at under 10fps at which point it wonders on its own and crashes.

My 270x doesn't eliminate stutter, but neither are bad, obviously my 270x has less stutter, but still not silky smooth.
 
thanks for replies.

as far as games go i will test it out with the division, BF4, SWBF and other games, but ultimately i am going to build a mild gaming computer round it for resale.

in fact on monday i was given a old 775 computer from facebook because it gets blue screen, it has a gigabyte GA-G41MT-D3 motherboard which happens to have a e5500 duo and has 4gb ddr3 1333 ram(board says 1066 & 800, but 1333 works :confused:) and having a fsb of 1333 is supports the quads and 4 more gigs of ram.

came with a crappy power supply powering a 7900gs with molex to 6 pin which shows lots of artefacts with a potential faulty onboard display, so its a decent starting block to get going i suppose, just need a new psu and my 260x in it.
