What would be the Absolute Best Graphics Card Available for my Computer

camtheman88 · Jan 28, 2014

Okay i am back it has been a while since i last had any questions. So here is my current Desktop i put together (that i could afford) trust me this was an upgrade from what i had been using for the last 4 years. Okay it is a Dell Vostro 200 (Mini Tower) originally with 2GB Ram DDR2 and E2200. Now it has E8600 3.33Ghz Core2Duo and 8GB DDR2 the MB is LGA775 Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (Build 6.1 7601) i believe my Graphics Card is the G31/G33 Express chipset 256MB is this Decent for???

I use this computer for the following tasks Editing/Rendering Video,Burning DVD'S and Adobe Photoshop i know that part of your capability to do the tasks above also have to do with your Graphics Card is there anyway to upgrade the 256MB of the G31/G33 to more MB or even GB??? Or what would be the absolute Best Graphics Card i could upgrade to???

I assume since this is considered stone age it should be cheap for any upgrades?

Also i guess to as far as Burning DVD'S i am at the Mercy of my DVD Burner Drive right???

I can do all the Tasks i mentioned i just want to be able to do them Faster.

If i could afford a Custom i7 (8 Core) Overcloked to a Zillion Ghz CPU,32GB RAM DDR3,Best Graphics Card in existence i would buy it. So for now the Old Technology will have to do for me

a safe upgrade would be the 7750, around $80. the 7770 is the next step up but you need a 400W power supply. Is this close to your budget or do you want cheaper?

The HD 7750 would be a safe upgrade. You will start hitting a wall if you go too much higher due to that older CPU. Plus, your PSU likely won't have the needed 6 pin connector for the 7770 and larger GPUs.

I believe this is the mobo you have, can you check? See if it is by opening your pc.

If so you are in luck, as it has a PCIE X 16, which means you can basically get the best video card you can afford. Of course it will need to be able to physically fit and the power supply would need to be up to snuff to run it.

So we will need you to look at the sticker of your power supply and list all the info the sticker says.

After that I'm sure people will give you the info you need, listing a budget will help a lot too.

A 7750 would be a great choice if it's within your budget and your power supply is powerful enough.
