Video Card Upgrade...?

[arcangel]

My Specs:

Windows 7 x64
Intel Core2 6400 2.13GHz @ 2,1 GHz - MMX SSE SSE2 SSE3
2GB System RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT

Resident Evil zero: averaging 16~24 fps using DX9 settings
Resident Evil remake: averaging 17~25 fps using DX9 settings
Resident Evil 4: averaging 14~21 fps using DX9 settings

I Would like to buy a new video card: EVGA GeForce GT 440 1024MB
http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=01G-P3-1441-KR&family=GeForce%20400%20Series%20Family&sw=

My question is: there will be some improvement in speed, with this graphics card?

Thanks!

Nope , not a single FPS gain
PC game : best GPU as possible + Mid CPU
Emulation : best CPU as possible + Mid GPU

Try this and see if you're using the right graphic settings (internal resolution). http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=20712

Either way, you need a new PC.

internal resolution x2

Now i get...
Resident Evil zero: averaging 18~25 fps using DX9 settings
Resident Evil remake: averaging 20~26 fps using DX9 settings
Resident Evil 4: averaging 16~23 fps using DX9 settings

Thank! Some fps gain

I got an E6420, those are nicely overclockable. I got mine to 2.8 GHz without problems. You might want to try your luck there, too.
