Graphics card to run civ 5 for a smaller case.

[yetubaba]

Hey guys! Just joined. Well, technically I joined like a month ago under the name YetuBaba but I never recieved my activation email. So, despite NUMEROUS attempts to contact site administration, I decided to jsut make a new account.

Anyway, I just bought a 500 dollar new H 500-123 computer. I have 12 gig of ram, an i3 core (duel with hyper), 1 tb HD and a 300 watt PSU. The current Graphics card is on board with 1.6 GB or ram. As it stands, I can smoothly run CIV V on a standard-large map (i turn the number of city states down to 12) with settings set on medium. However, I want to be able to run this game on FULL settings with a huge map.

So what kind of card do I need to run civ v on optimum settings? Considering this game came out in 2009, I'm sure you don't need a fancy NASA computer to run it...

Again, I just bought this computer so, therefore; I would rather UPGRADE than spend money on a new one.

I KNOW there are graphics cards that will fit this case, its just the matter of finding one... Thanks ya.

This sounds like you don't have a standard sized case?
Then you might have a problem with that requirement.

Otherwise a Radeon 7770 will most likely do, a GTX 750 will certainly.

its not a mega size 500 pound case like you see on these huge gaming rigs, but its not like one of those little acers either

Post in site feedback, they will likely merge your accounts if you tell them which name you prefer. They are aware of the activation e-mail issue so mention that. Glad you had success joining this time.
