graphics card update

[Fergal69]

Hi,

My system is an AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core 2.2ghz & just upgraded from Windows XP to 7 64bit, & oh joy - can fly around london without the game freezing despite only having 3 gb of RAM.

However, there are little square patches of red on the screen. I assume this is because my system is now running Direct X 11 & my graphics card, being a GEForce Nvidia 9800 GT (1gb) which only supports Direct X 10.

I'm looking to puchase an GEForce Nvidia GT610 which is a 2gb ddr3 memory card as they are on offer at the moment from a localshop - don't want to spend a lot on a graphic card at present as just bought Windows 7, thought not at the retail price.

Has any one got this card & how are they finding it on CoD? In the past the graphics cards I've bought have an on board fan, whereas this hasn't. I've plenty of space in my base & have 2 fans on the front of the case sucking in fresh air & obviously a large fan on the rear to exhause hot air, so despite what the manufactuers say, is there an overheat issue?
