Bluemagneticstorm Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Howdy everybody, a simple question. I have not built a computer in 6-7 years. During that time I have not kept up on advancements in the hardware. Recently I cornered myself into having to build a new AUDIO MACHINE. I need it to run the new Interface I just got. I chose an Asus B85M-E/CSM Motherboard because I need the PCI riser for the card. Turns out it is a pretty cool board to-boot. I put a Pentium G3258 processor in it, which has the graphics inside. OK so, I really don't need any super dooper graphics. Cubase has a limited video aspect, "for mounting audio to your music video" but that does not require much. I was going to use an old Radeon 2400 Pro card I have laying about but the B85 on board graphics might just be more capable. So I am soliciting opinions as to which way I should go. Oh, I have 4 gigs of DDR3 1600 Ballistix, the card has 512mb. DDR3 ?mhz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I'm not sure how accurate this is, but it looks like the HD 4000 would be a LOT better: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-HD-4000-Desktop-115-GHz-vs-ATI-Radeon-HD-2400-PRO/2169vsm8931 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemagneticstorm Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Oh Yeah, I had a feeling! That is a nice compare site too. In such a short time, things have moved ahead at an amazing rate. Prices are not that much more relatively speaking either. Some processors are completely off the scale, and the SSDs are a bit pricey too. It will be nice when I can actually afford those. Thank You!
