budget gfx-card for SC2

[Yoyellow]

Hello,

im in the process of creating a nice budget hack for a friend of mine.

and im wondering what cheap gfx card would run starcraft 2 on average.

most cards on here are either high end or very lowend, but i need a low-mid range card.

Preferable one that will most likely run in 10.9 as well, so a newer card.


besides that, do you guys think the HD4000 intel gpu in the i3 processor might run this game too?

thanks in advance..

How does SC2 do on a build with 8800GS gfx card? This is about equal to HD4000 gfx.

Are AMD's hackintoshable? The A-series processors have really nice integrated graphics, much better than the Intel HD 4000. The AMD A10 is around $120,

Havent tried HD4000, but have played a lot of SC2 on very ****ty computers, and it works on almost anything. And low gfx in SC2 is just fine, the pros actually run it on lowest. Less to confuse you. My friend play top master league on a five year old MBpro.

Not with methods on this site. Since Apple has never used AMD CPU, there is no support in the OS X kernel.

Then chances are the HD4000 gfx will work out OK. If you find it isn't enough, you can always add a discrete gfx card later.

this will probably be the case.

but if i want to burn another 70 euros or so, what card would be decent and futureproof?

The Nvidia GTX 650 1 GB can be found on sale for $70 - $90. According to the link below, it will run SC2 at nearly 60 fps
