Realistically, hell no. That's just not going to happen. The rest of your computer can be top-notch, but the 8400GS is going to be a severe limiting factor. For serious gaming, you'll want an 8600 or 9600 series card, at the very least.

Re: GeForce 8400 GS

KK i was just trying to see if it was possible.

What are the specs?

Yeah, what's this new computers specs look like?

Chances are if you didn't option for a good graphics card it might have came with something pretty crappy. A lot of pre-builts are like that.

Well, on my PC I have a 1.5 ghz core 2 duo. Its not that bad at all. I got an 8600, and it seems to run most games pretty well. But I would recommend that you get one of the newer cards like a 9600 because they will last you longer and give you better performance. If your looking for affordability, go for ATI cards. They are great as well. :)

_________________________________________________ I only have 1.5 ghz, and I can play left 4 dead 2 at medium/high (or all high) settings no problem. I only got 2 gigs of ram and an 8600 256mb as well. But can your motherboard support a 8400? You might want to check up on that. I know mine can only support up to an 8600, so that's what im keeping it at. Going to invest in a new system soon though.:)

BTW I have seen 9600's for like 50-70 bucks around here, even the 1gb ones! Great deal for sure!

The mobo doesn't matter for support of certain cards. As long as its got a PCIe slot it will support any PCIe card. Its your power supply that you have to watch.

Re: GeForce 8400 GS

Pcie 2.0 Graphics cards work in PCIe 16 slots right?
