additional graphics for windows 7 32 bit

I have a PC running Windows 7 32 bit, powered by the processor intel i5 2nd genration (32 bit). It has 4 GB of RAM and built-in 1 GB memory graphics. Now I plan to upgrade my graphics memory by adding the graphics card of 2 GB (Radeon, ATI...).

This can affect the performance of the system?

I watched a lot of messages saying that the available memory may get reduced if I add this additional graphics memory.

Please suggest.

"I watched a lot of messages saying that the available memory may get reduced if I add this additional graphics memory."

This only happens if you are using a laptop or a PC with integrated graphics that "shares".

RAM system with the graphics accelerator, in which case the maximum limit for your motherboard

can be only 1 GB anyway (the setting for "shared" system RAM graphics is located in the BIOS).

-With the current series of Nvidia, the GTX750ti can be considered a close replacement for the GTX560ti, with the added benefit of low energy consumption and the extra 1 GB of VRAM.

Only 300W power minimum is necessary for the GTX750ti.

-However, for about the same price you could get a GTX660, who needs a minimum 450W power supply, but performs better than the GTX560 ti and GTX750ti.

-Also check the comments for the AMD 265 R7 and R9 270 and compare the performance and price

with Nvidia cards in your area.

Having more than 1 GB VRAM can be useful with some AAA latest titles to run max @1920 X 1080 settings, especially if wanting to use Anti-Aliasing 2 X higher settings.

Only a handful of games use a lot more than about 1.30 GB of VRAM

EG - Crysis 2 uses 1.8 GB with my set-up.

-As mentioned Mike... 2GB VRAM is not always equivalent to a faster card. Some low-end cards

delivered with 2 GB of VRAM (like a gimick), but they cannot deal with this amount of data efficiently.

Read a few reviews compared to the indicators of game.

-GTA4 can use a little more than 1 GB of VRAM, but you really need 64-bit Windows.

While even heavy system RAM use games go much more than 4 GB of system RAM, you are currently

not even get all the benefits of 4 GB, due to running Win7 32 bit.

BTW - GTA4 has bad folding (one of several problems being wrong door console on PC).

but this can be corrected by using the FXAA in Control Panel Nvidia (MLAA if you use AMD card).

Other anti-aliasing options have no effect on the aliasing in GTA4.
