What graphics card could I use on my computer

mikewillis1980 · May 4, 2013

I have a BFG 680i SLi motherboard and was wanting to upgrade my graphics card to something that would play current gen games

list hardware/monitor size-res/budget.

if you are still using 775, you need a complete upgrade. throwing in a GPU from times like now will end up with a bottleneck

swifty_morgan :

LGA775 CPU Socket
Intel Quad Core 2.66 GHz CPU
2 GB Ram
1920 x 1080 widescreen monior

Budget around $200

get a new rig ASAP. save up on money, then buy a completely new rig. i can recommend a new GPU now, but then it will be bottlenecked. if you upgrade the rig piece by piece, by the time you are done, the GPU is horribly outdated

forgot to list the power supply...............

you need to buy ram. 2gigs is strangling your system. so I added ram and compromised on the card a bit.

at that res you should get a card with 2gigs of vram ( 1 included )

I'll stick with what I posted. all those cards are more than enough with the rest of your system (cpu) and budget.

thanks for the help!

TheBigTroll: Socket 775 systems can still be very capable. May not be current generation but certainly still usable.
I would recommend a Radeon 7770 as it will pair well with the strength of the CPU.
