What would be the cheapest card that would play Il-2: CoD well then?

I edidted my post.... i think a 2 gb version of the 6850 would pull it off.

otherwise check for anything better than a 560 or a 7850, 2 GB versions should be a priority! OS you are looking at 200 euro GPU (150£ ?) other than that, you will need a good CPU and Memory too :S.... so i dont no... you ar efacing a 500 euro upgrade at least.

But would it fit inside my machine and would it work on a 375 watt power supply? ( I can't afford both)

[pupo162]

i dont know.

anyway waht are your other specs? i think that even with a new GPU, you wont be able too pull it off with your current machine ...

The 6850 is...slightly outdated, but what would be the cheapest card to run it at a high/medium setting? (excluding the card list)

My specs? uuuhhh....
*coughcough I haven't powered the machine up yet coughcoguchgough*
my video cable comes on Monday/ Tuesday. But the machine's previous owner has probably modded it (I won't mention who) to become better, But I can tell you it's Intel Core Duo 2 and runs XP/ Vista (A sticker on the front says XP, a sticker ontop says Vista...WHY U NO PICK ONE OS) and probably has 4GB RAM. Maybe.I can get back to you as soon as I power it up. Stay tuned. Please.

Sorry mate... not goign to pull it off. You will just need to invest at least some 700 euros in a new pc. Even with the best GPU possible, your CPU/RAM will bottlenexk your preformance.

you will need a quad core... and not just any quadcore, an i5 2500k ist the best choice, and 6-8 GB of RAM, DDR3.

Sorry, but buying a GPU and COd for that PC would just be a frustration pot.

Bledd-*Head-desk* the system I get give and it won't cut the mustard... And I can't buy a new machine because..well..I'm not rich(Sadly).Anyway thanks for your help, I think I was a litttttttttle too ambitious with everything. BUT could you recommend me a graphics card that would sort me out for the future (1GB/2GB/3GB+) even if I can't play CoD? Also I hope Il-2 1946 still has a community because I think I'll have to settle with that as my Combat game..Le sigh..

Also I might find that this modded PC could have more memory than I last thought...would it enable me to get onto the ladder if it had anything above 4GB RAM? Or would I need to grab another processor aswell?

it does have a community. I dont know, but a 6770 is a cheap option and its the one who better matches the rest of your PC. a 6850 is clearly beter, but it also more expensive. a 550 i think its just not worth it.

EDIT:

you wont find more than 4 GB of ram. 4GB is the limit for that MOBO.
