Current Specs:
AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0 Ghz
ASRock N68C-S UCC (AM3)
2.00GB Single-Channel DDR2 @ 267MHz (4-4-4-12)
L1553S (1024x768@60Hz) LG LCD Screen
256MB NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a (ASRock)
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1
I'm looking for a card that I can put in my current build. Preferably one that does not need auxiliary power connectors.
I plan on building a newer Intel based PC(mid to late 2014), maybe an i5 that can be overclocked with the lowest power draw possible(waiting around to see if the prices drop).
I don't play games at ultra high settings, but will try(contented with playing at mid settings). I have a small 15" screen. I might do some photo editing, video encoding, watch HD movies, render 3D objects from CAD.
Most of my days, i just browse the net, watch some videos, move around some of my files, play older games; that's why I need a low power system. I also tend to leave my PC on when downloading large files then do something else...
So to sum it up, i want a card that i can use for my current build then migrate it to my newer Intel based build, want a card powerful enough to play newer games(i'm a fan of old games), but efficient enough to do just some basic task.
