wanting to play thief downstairs on this low end pc i decided to get a low profile gpu.
i wanted to be able to play thief at lowest setting and anything more powerful than a card that could manage that would be a waste on the setup.
got my hands on a oem dell 7570 pulled from a computer.
thats 1gb gddr5 quite happy to report that i am able to run the game on the automatic "low setting" and did not have to resort to setting it to "lowest"
The bad news however is that i finished the main story yesterday on my gaming pc, which means i wont really be playing thief on this one now any way lol.. But atleast its there if i need it.
my 8400Gs scored 3.9 in windows score. and rendered the game quite unplayable even at lowest setting.
i am attaching my current windows score as my image regarding the card.
as you can see the gpu is now the fastest part of the setup lol.
(windows 7 x64)
the only reall issue with the card is that it is oem and as such the drivers are almost non existant, and the only drivers are from dell and there is only the 1, they never made an update.
but if i feel like it i can edit the ini file from amd drivers to add the hardware id of the card. or reflash the bios changing the hardware id to a 7570 card that is supported by amd officially. but im not sure if they support gddr5 then.
n oc valid
