    Agreed. You can try it, but you may get really poor framerates with it. The 530 is VERY low end.

    For what it's worth, a higher number does NOT mean it's faster than a lower number, unless it's in the same generation (as a general rule). For example, the "5" in 530 means it's part of the most recent Nvidia generation, but the "30" means it's at the very low end.

    This heirarchy chart gives a good idea of what to expect - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...rd,2964-7.html
    I don't see the 530 on it, but I expect it will be below the 450 when Tom's updates the chart to include it. Here is a quote from a review:
    On the low end, the GT 530 features 96 cores running at 700MHz, 128-bit memory bus, and 1GB or 2GB of video memory. Needless to say, it will be a better option than integrated graphics, but demanding gamers will want to steer clear.
