I currently have an asus NVidia 1gb silent en210 that I would like to upgrade so that my pc is compatible with nvidias GeForce experience optimization option. I have a OptiPlex 330, running an intel q8200s, and 4 gb ddr2-1066 ram all on the stock 305w PSU, so I kno im limited on gpus as most require around 100 watts, and PSU's are way out of my price range atm. I do have my optical drive disconnected atm so im sure that frees a little bit of wattage up. I do believe that I am restrained to cards that use pcie 2.0 and below, im pretty sure the 3.0s wont work. I do have 2 card slots under my pci2 x16 slot but not sure what they are for, or what they are. before u tell me I have to upgrade my PSU please tell me what I require, because im not sure if its 24 pin, or 20+4, all I kno is the 24 pin PSU's are much more expensive.
also, im currently using my 32" hitachi fpd-tv as a display via the hdmi port on my en210. it says the tvs native resolution is 1360x768. so no need for a super graphics card, just wanna play games around mid graphics setting at this resolution, or 1280x720 (720p)
I found a gt 520, also from asus, that looks identical to my 210 so im assuming itll fit, just not sure about the power consumption. but I will respect any and all opinions all of you give me, I prefer NVidia to amd, but if I have to get amd because of size/power then so be it. just lemme kno what all of you think I need to do to upgrade my gpu. I want the best card I can run under $80
