Do I need a better graphics card to play games?

Question by Classdrummer44: Do I need a better graphics card to play games?
Bought a Logitech G25 PC steering wheel,
do I need to buy a better graphics card to play games like Test Drive Unlimited on my computer? Seems to be going a bit slow.

Answer by Crimson Vizard
well, in order to answer your question, you should specify your graphics card. I suggest (for low end games such as Halo 1) a Geforce 8600 +, (for middle level games like Titan Quest or Halo 2) a GT 9400 +, (and for high end games such as FEAR 2: Project Origin or Mirror's Edge) a GTX 260 +. Of course, each of these graphics cards should be accompanied by respective processing power and RAM. For low: 2 Ghz + and 1 GB RAM +, for med: 2 Ghz Dual + and 3 GB RAM +, for high, 2.5 Ghz Quad + and 6 GB RAM +. Of course, if you have an unlimited budget, I suggest buying (almost) a computer with these specs: Dual Intel I7 Xeon Motherboards with 128 Gigs of RAM and 64 Ghz of processing power with an Nvidia Quadro FX 5800
