Dear friends,
I have recently got a new system. My specifications are as below:-



Processor is Intel i5 2320 @ 3.0ghz
RAM is 4gb ddr3
Motherboard is Intel DH61WW
My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
And graphic card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 2GB DDR3
I have updated to its latest drivers version 301.42
DirectX is 11.1
Still I'm facing issues with gamings. I found out on NVIDIA forums that my graphic card is not for gaming at all.
So now I'm thinking to change my graphic card. But I'm worried. Suppose if I bought any random card and then I learn its not compaitible with my system specs, than what will I do?

So guys Please suggest me a decent graphic card on which I could play games like CODMW3 or MassEffect etc, and which is compaitable with my system. My budget is moderate Rs.5000.
Thanking You

Hello Kedar,
I was equally shocked. and yes I can support my statement, you just have to login in NVIDIA forums and under Geforce Basic, you will find my thread in the name of Vikas Lohia. here is the link

But I must tell you that I am indeed getting problem with gaming. I've got a decent file of CODMW3 from my friend, this file has no problem. It installed properly. Game is launched smoothly, but when I begin gameplay, game starts to stuck for split seconds. After 4-5 minutes of game play I'm thrown out of game. PC is almost hanged. only CTRL+ALT+DEL work. In task manager the game is shown as "Not responding", only after ending the process, PC is fully recoverd.
Same story for ME3, SniperEliteV2 and Ages of Empire III. Sofar only Ages of Empire2 worked but wiith very slow and bad graphics .
Please tell me what should I do?
Now with your response I'm totally confused.
Please take note that my card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 with latest driver version 301.42

File is legitimate be assured of that. Am I missing any setting? does resolution has to to some thing?
and which one is better? GT 220 or 520?

Well I havent tried legal copy of ME or MW3. I downloaded popular torrents which got high reps. But I did try legal copy of SniperEliteV2 and Ages of Empire3. Nothing is working. I dont know what to do? Am I missing any setting? Please help me1

I am aware of PCHF policy, therefore I will request your help only for my legitimate games, which I have bought.
The problem is not with game alone, I think I have messed with setting some where. are all my setting ok?
Here is the screenshot of my NVIDIA toolbar, please see it and check resolution size. is this resolution ok?


and Thank You kedar, you have been so helpful to me!

Are you sugessting that my monitor is the cause of problrm? bcoz I had no issues with display. I play HD videos and all, no issues of display. Its only when we start games, the game starts to lag.

Hi Kedar,
I tried to capture a video, using snagit, of my NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL. Its a 100 sec video, can you please take a look and tell me if any setting is wrong. You might have to watch it in full screen.

Thank You Kedar.
