Nope. Display card is the most important factor in gaming. Nothing makes up for a substandard display card.

Rule of thumb:

Never buy a new display card that's just been released. The price will inevitably drop after a few months.

Never buy a 'budget' display card. The cheaper versions of a product line inevitably has reduced function.

Never purchase a gaming card which costs under $AU300. (Approx $US200)

btw, i run my games on 1024x768. I dont go higher than that. My gcard really does not create much problems. I just got Rome total war. Run it with settings set to medium to high and low AA.
