Want to upgrade my GPU

AfroSam3000 · Dec 21, 2013

What is the best graphics card i can get that will play games at low to medium, maybe high settings?

I have a Compaq Presario Media Center SR2011WM Desktop PC. I have already upgraded the PSU to 400, maxed out the ram to 2gb and changed my cpu to a Intel Pentium D 3.00Ghz. Im also running windows 7 professional 32bit.

better go for 4 gb ram and also whats your budget for the new gpu ?

swifty_morgan · Dec 21, 2013

you're asking a lot from a little. monitor res and budget-yes................ is 2gigs really the most you can put on that machine?

AfroSam3000 · Dec 21, 2013

yep, 2gb is most i can put in it. My budget is from 30 to 150, but more on the lower end of that though.

You shouldn't be looking to game on it unless u wanna play duke nukem 3d or max Payne 1

a 6670 to a 7770 to an r7 260............ didn't check a price on that........I wouldn't go too big because of the dual core cpu limitations and the very restrictive ram limitation. ...... what resolution is your monitor?

what about a game like DayZ? i was looking at the amd 5450

AfroSam3000 · Dec 21, 2013

I dont need anything more than 720p

swifty_morgan · Dec 21, 2013

I play some games on my 720p TV. the 5450 is not enough. and it won't be very good for DayZ. if you want to keep the expense low.......... a 6670............ http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7512490&CatId=7005

it'll be better but your whole system is still slow by today's standards.

would the 6670 be compatible with my PCI slot? here is my motherboard specs from hp.

swifty_morgan · Dec 22, 2013

yes............. i looked at that yesterday.

AfroSam3000 · Dec 23, 2013

Thanks for the help. It looks like I will be getting the 6670.

AfroSam3000 · Dec 26, 2013

Do you think the GDDR5 version of the 6670 1GB is compatible with my system?

a hd 7770 is not bad, get that. I have it in one of my computers and in the other I have a r9 280x
