Hi,
i would like to update my video graphics as a separate entity.
at the moment video graphics is integrated into the motherboard.
the company SiS mirage that made the graphics is out of business.
I run win7 professional 32bit
Intel Pentium CPU 2.80 GHz
Ram 2 GB
SP 1
Windows experience: 3D business and gaming graphics performance= 1.0
can anyone give me the best options / advice about a new video card (besides chucking pc out (laugh)..)
low price that is compatible.
cheers
If you don't have any desire to play the latest and graphics-intensive video games at high resolutions, then I'd recommend you to go with Radeon HD 5450 (http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150655&cm_re=Radeon_5450-_-14-150-655-_-Product). Best bang for your buck.
I personally use this one (GeForce 210), (http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125485&cm_re=GeForce_210-_-14-125-485-_-Product) though.
You'll be surprised how many fairly-recent games these Graphic Cards can actually play, provided that you're not put off by playing at 1024 x 768 @ Low Settings! These cards can play HD videos as well.
PS: This is, of course, written with the assumption that you've got a PCI-e slot on your motherboard.
hi ASA,
Have PCIEXPO1 and PCIE1 Slots...
cheers
This is now done (nod)
thanks for PM's ASA...

I recently finished playing GTA V, having NVidia GTX 465 and running in 1280x720 with low settings. I had to get used to this at first, but then I stop bothering, because otherwise the game ran great. :)
