Hi, Last night i brought NFS the RUn, after installing the game, I realize that my onbord graphics card is not capable to run it in full HD mode. I have changed the
resolution(1024X768 with low profile DirectX 10) and playing it.
Now I am planning to buy a new graphics card under 5k to 8k,, which can play the game in full HD resolution(with high profile DirectX 11) with multiplayer. Any suggestion plz?

Thanks
Sandipan Ghosh

?You have posted the details from your OS I guess and from this I am only getting you're having G A-880GM-USB3 motherboard, 8 GB ram and 4250 graphics card and a 1080P display, probably a quad core processor

Please post the following details:
Processor details: Exact name
Exact model of the SMPS you're having. If you're using cheap local smps that normally comes bundled with the Cabinet then you might need to change it to accommodate a standard gfx card

with my 5770 i got avg 45 fps with all max. So in ur budget u should look for 6850 or 6770. Cooler master psu is nt great though.
