So, I've been wanting to buy a new graphics card because I have a gaming PC with 8Gb ram, 856GB free space but the graphics card is crap - a 1GB GeForce GT 630. I've been looking around and I saw another version of the GT 630 but with 4GB: the  Asus Nvidia GeForce GT 630 Graphics Card (4GB, DDR3, PCI Express 2.0, HDMI, DVI-I, VGA, Nvidia PhysX Ready, Dust-Proof Fan). 

 

I've been wondering, seeing as it has 4GB, weather this is a good/reliable card and if it would run GTA IV smoothly at least on medium settings?
 

Thanks

I would get something with GDDR5 memory. Yes, this card has 4GB of VRAM but the speed of the GPU is what matters. For example, the GTX 550 TI or 650.  Anything that is _50 and up in Nvidias lineup is usually GDDR5. Just my 2 cents.

Ok but would u still recommend the GeForce gt 630 with 4gb seeing as I have a low budget? My current one has half the specs of this one but it runs gta iv with only a bit of lag, so yes or no?

I wouldnt buy any graphics card that is under $100, they have way better cards for this price range. As 1ian20 said its the speed of the cardthat matters.

(CUDA cores & Base Clock MHZ) is what you want to look for.

No. Spend some $$$ or you won't get results.
