    I think you may have to be a little more specific as to what your card actually is.

    You will get more help or suggestion if you mention your graphics card or system spec you have. I assmuning from the previous your posts, your graphics card is a Sapphire HD5450 1GB DDR3. This graphics card looks okay, what games are you planning to play on it?

    It's certainly not a gaming card - if you want to play new games on that you'll have to do them at lowest detail settings, and possibly use a lower resolution than your monitor normally runs at. If you mostly play older games then it should be OK.

    Re: Frame Per Second ???

    Generally, the more you pay the faster the card, the better for gaming. If you don't play that many games, a Radeon HD7750 would be a good option. It's still relatively cheap (~ £80 in the UK) but it'll play games at moderate settings fairly well. Just make sure you get a card with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. There are cards with 2GB of GDDR3 memory, but these are slower (because the memory type is slower).

    Re: Frame Per Second ???

    Oh right. Frames per second is how many times the computer can calculate the scene and send updates to the screen. If you have a weak computer (largely determined by the power of the graphics card in this regard) then it will take so long to calculate scenes that it can only send rather infrequent updates to the screen, resulting in slow or jerky performance in 3d applications, like games.

    If you can't play a game smoothly then you need to improve your computer, and in most cases, specifically the graphics card. As suggested above.

    Re: Frame Per Second ???

    fps as in frames per second? Not sure what you want to know that the name doesn't tell you?

    Frames per Second is how many frames per second your graphics card can draw to your screen. The higher the frames per second, the smoother the game looks. A faster graphics card gives you more frames per second. It really is completely self-explanatory.

    If you want to know specific numbers, then you need to test your computer, because it depends on the game you're playing, the exact specification of your computer, and the in-game settings you use, the resolution of your monitor, etc. Google "fraps" for a program that can show fps while you're playing a game.

    Re: Frame Per Second ???

    There are also some games that include an FPS counter (don't know how reliable they are through) such as World of Tanks (mention since that's my poison at the moment). The more graphically intensive / eye candy you have switched on with the game you are playing, the lower your FPS.

    There's lots of talk at the moment regarding frame redering latency, which manifests as momentary lags in gameplay; which in my opinion can be even worse than low FPS (something I'm suffering with in WoT... 45 FPS generally, but these annoying frame lacks that can see me stuffed up the jacksy with something large and explosive). nVidia seen to be on top with respect to latency at the moment, but AMD are actively working on this with a slew of beta drivers recently.

    Also consider your screen resolution. Rule of thumb is more graphic card memory = more eye candy and higher resolutions, although I am making a huge generalisation there.

    Finally, some games do run better on certain hardware due to the ammount of optimisation work that AMD/nVidia do with the designers.

    Corsair Air 540, Asus Prime X570-Pro, Win 10 Pro, AMD R9 3900X, Corsair HX 750, EVGA 1080 Ti, 2x Corsair 2TB MP600, 2x 2TB WD20EZRX, 4x8GB Corsair Dominator, custom watercooled (single loop, 2 rads)
    Corsair 550D, Asus X470-Prime Pro, Win 10 Pro, AMD R7 2700, Corsair RM750i, Asus GTX780 Poseidon, 2x Sammy 500GB 970 EVO, 2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance, custom watercooled (single loop, 2 rads)
