hdshatter · Feb 11, 2014

GTX 660 maybe.

VanillaSprinkles · Feb 11, 2014

Yeah id go with the 650 Ti or the the 660. Don't get the 610, its not meant for gaming

storeyy3k · Feb 12, 2014

Would that plug straight in??

Amangoel23 · Feb 12, 2014

no sotreyy,any higher model than the gt 610 will require you 2 6 pin connectors to connect to the graphic card,if you do not have any pin connectors then your upgrade options are really really slim

Amangoel23 · Feb 12, 2014

I mean the model no.

If you mean the new DAYZ and if its anything like Arma 3, the framelimiter in your case would be the processor first, gfx card second.

storeyy3k · Feb 12, 2014

ATX 12V model : 750UB

you need 2 of these connectors from your power supply if yo uwant to upgrade.
Try opening your case and see if there are 2 of these connectors that are free or attached to your graphic card

Amangoel23 · Feb 12, 2014

It seems like you have 2 6 pin connectors,can you count the number of boxes (tiny boxes) on each of the connector and see if there is 6.You need atleast 2 of these

Amangoel23 · Feb 12, 2014

Now comes what is your budget that you are willing to spend on your graphic cards?

-edit-just saw you have 150 euros as a budget.Give me a second

storeyy3k · Feb 12, 2014

150 pound so £170 euro

storeyy3k · Feb 12, 2014

i only have 1 of them 6 pins in the images i sent u the other is small and only has 2 pins in it

Amangoel23 · Feb 12, 2014

Oh i see,so you only got 1 6 pin,the image wasn't quiet clear so that will limit your options alot.
Hmmm
Any chance you can find another 6 pin connector? Like maybe attached to your graphic card?

You could always buy a molex cable so that you can attach it to your 6 pin connector to make it to two.Can you find the model of your powersupply unit.Like is it from corsair,seasonic then xfx,cw,vs 500w/600w etc etc Like what's written on the box you bought the power supply with.
For eg-
Cooler Master GX-II 550W
This is a power supply model from cooler master
can you find out yours?

storeyy3k · Feb 12, 2014

no more:-( got a fre 4 pin but only 1 6 pin

storeyy3k · Feb 12, 2014

the model i wrote ^^^^ above the 12v 750 w one

Amangoel23 · Feb 12, 2014

that isn't actually the model >_<.can you somehow find the box in which your power supply unit was in and find the model?

Amangoel23 · Feb 12, 2014

look at this link
see the model they wrote?
Thats what I'm looking after so I can see if your power supply unit can handle the new graphic card or not.
