GeForce GT520 or Radeon HD 6670 for the Sims 3?

[chyrun]

Which one would be better for Sims 3? I'm guessing no 2, but I'm not sure.

Computer specs:

1.
Operation system: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
Processor: Pentium G620
Graphics card: GeForce GT520
Hard disk space: 1TB
RAM: 4GB

2.
Operation system: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
Processor: Core i3-2100
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6670
Hard disk space: 1TB
RAM: 4GB


EDIT: According to this http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements
GeForce GT520 doesn't support Sims 3 at all?

Yes, the GT520 is quite a weak card and won't be able to cope with TS3. The second system is better for TS3, although the RAM and CPU are both a little on the low side, so you will have some lagging and possibly crashing problems. The CPU is a nice speed, but the i3 processors are a low-end line; the RAM is the bare minimum, although if this is a desktop, you can always upgrade that later. :)

Thanks, whiterider! :) I'm on a budget, so this will have to do. Yes it's a desktop and I'll be upgrading the RAM myself probably.

Have a look and see if you can get a similar model with an i5 CPU for a not insanely higher price. Even if you have to wait and save for a couple more months, that will set you up with a better machine in the long run.

And don't forget that building a computer yourself out of parts is always cheaper than buying a prebuilt. ;)
