Which Graphics Card for my Old P.C

Sickboy4 · Apr 24, 2013

Hi there im new to this Forum and i really need some help upgrading my pc.Now i like playing some games on it that my Integrated card cant handle.Maybe games like Sims3, or when i upgrade Guild Wars2..

I haven't got a lot to spend so im on a tight budget as i know i will have to change PSU also.. I am not the best at pc stuff so i think this is my MOBO number.

Acer
RS780HVF

Im looking at the XFX Radeon HD6770 to go along with the Corsair 500w PSU and i am really wanting to know if this will work together.Thank You

it will work fine but you could always get the cheaper corsair cx 430, yes it will run the system without a hitch despite what the graphics card recommendation is.

Go with corsair cx 430 as spentshells said and use the spare to buy an HD 7750 instead

Thank you for your answers,i think i may go for the better card then as long as my Board can handle it?

Leland · Apr 24, 2013

No problem, it's not just the mobo that you need to check. You also need to put the cpu and other components aside. The options that we gave you are just some better upgrades that you can get for a good price

What about the 7770 card,im just confused by it all there are so many ha.Would my board be able to cope with that card?

Leland · May 4, 2013

HD 7770 is a great card and will help you max out a lot of games depending on your cpu and ram. We gave you the lower options because we dont know how much your budget is and as told you're on a tight budget. As long as you can afford the new psu and the 7770 that will give you great graphics and performance.

Sickboy4 :

hd 7770 is a good budget card and if u have a resolution of 720p it will handle almost every game at high details

HD 7790 is the way to go man!

5W more than HD7700 TDP but has 30% more performance. As long there is a 6-pin aux connector, you're fine with your current PSU. if not, any 450W+ PSU will suffice

Thank you all for the great help so far. Just to say my Cpu is AMD Phenom Quad 9150e with 3gig Ram and i will be fitting this stuff myself.Should have said my specs before asking but im not great with pcs,so out of those cards which would be best.

7770 or 7750 with the Corsair 430w

Sickboy4 :

hd 7770 is better than hd 7750

Sickboy4 · May 6, 2013

Yeah i think im going to go for the HD7770 but just checking for last time it will run ok with Corsair 430w and with the

Phenom Quad 1.8 and 3gRam??

Sickboy4 :

it will run just fine but u might wanna upgrade that ram in some time at least to 4gb it will help in gaming

Ok im back looking for some more help please,so i decided to go with the Sapphire 7770 card and managed to fit it well along with my new PSU. Now i don't know exactly how to get rid of my hd3200 drivers as i only disabled it through device manager and when i went to download latest driver for my new card i got the BSOD..

Im really hopeless with my BIOS i cant figure any of that out so im really stuck and can anyone help me again please..

Sickboy4 · Jun 14, 2013

I tried uninstalling hd3200 just from device manager and did a restart but then it reinstalled again and i dont want to get the latest driver for my new 7770 incase it gives my blue screen again..

Any help is great thanx...

Leland · Jun 17, 2013

Sorry for the late reply mate, I rarely open my account xD So for the driver problem that you're having right now, I would suggest to download a driver cleaner or so (some people don't suggest this cause it breaks a thing or two, haven't got any kind of problem like that so its up to you if you want to follow my advice). After cleaning the driver and restarting for at least two tries, install your new driver. Please do tell me if you're still having problems after that.

Leland · Jun 17, 2013

↑ as you can see (or so if you can read) he already bought a gpu

Sickboy4 · Jun 18, 2013

Hey again thank you for your help but i think i sorted it,i managed to disable the on-board graphics in BIOS and then went to amd site and downloaded the driver with no problems this time..

Everything seems to be working fine and im having a blast playing the new games that came with the GPU...Again thank you all for the great help.

Byees
