I currently have a ATI Radeon HD 5450 in my computer.
Instead of getting an expensive new card and power supply, would I increase my graphics in games and stuff significantly if I just bought another 5450 and had two of the same graphics card in my desktop?
BTW I have a 250 watt PSU
1) The 5450 is already a bad GPU....it can hardly play any games as it is. Throwing another one in there won't do any good.
2) Even if you did throw a 2nd 5450 in there, your 250 watt PSU would NOT be able to handle it....plus it's more than likely not even 80 plus certified...which means that it may explode.....seriously. 1) My 5450 isn't that bad. It runs all Source games very well, got 15-20 frames per second for Battlefield 3 and Planetside 2.
2) This PSU has been able to handle this card very well, as well as two monitors that are constantly being used. I think you might be underestimating the power of my computer.Your 250W cannot power another 5450. I'm also calling bullcrap on getting 15-20 FPS in BF3. We aren't "underestimating your computer." And you can't use source games as an example because the engine is more than a decade old.
Can you give us the rest of your specs at least?It was the beta, so I can't play it now.
The rest of my specs are a 2.7 gHz dual core processor (AMD Athlon xII), 3GB of Ram, and 500GB of memoryI would just buy entirely new hardware, those are all very old and your processor will likely bottleneck newer cards.
You can even save your case and hard drive.
