Is a 8400GS 256MB PCI-Express Video Card a good one? like how well would it run wow?

looking to replace a broken video card just wondering how well this one would work for wow and other games like wow|||it's way too old. NVIDIA is 6 generations beyond that card now, as current they are on the 4xx series, having gone 8xxx, 9xxx, the cycled around.

Hard work pays off later. Laziness pays off now.|||The 8400GS is NOT a gaming card, it's just a cheap replacement for integrated graphics. It's fine for regular tasks like web browsing and looking at movies, but it's only useful for really low-end older games (the original Sims, original Starcraft, Counterstrike etc)



For games like WoW, you'll want a Radeon 4650 or better.



Performance comparison:

It would run wow on low settings. look for nvidia x600,x800 (like 9600 or 8800) cards or any of the xxx (460) series cards that have at least 512MB of ram.|||Go buy atleast a ATI HD 5500 they are really cheap and can work easily on high settings, and ultra with about 28-55fps
