Graphics Output VGA
Discrete Graphics PCIe x16

3.Ram - 4 GB DDR2 (2Gb*2)
4.PSU - Zebronics 450 Watt
5.Monitor- Asus 1600*900 resolution

6.Graphics card- AMD Powercolor HD 6450 2GB DDR3 (Go Green Edintion)

Using Windows 8.1 32 Bit OS Though Support 64 Bit OS.
Now I Want To switch My Graphics Card....
My Quistion is- 1. a ddr5 graphics card will support my computer?
2. how effcting it will for my system?

I planed to switch Amd R7 250 ,but ddr3 or ddr5 i cant decided..which will Be fine for me?
Here Is the two links:
For DDR3- (http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-radeon-r7-250-boost-2gb-ddr3-2-gb-graphics-card/p/itmdqz82fnep7czg?pid=GRCDQZ82FNEP7CZG&otracker=from-search&srno=t_6&query=r7&ref=5e9f6232-4e35-40e4-84d3-1d1e2ea43c4a)

For DDR5- (http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-radeon-r7-250-boost-1gb-ddr5-1-gb-graphics-card/p/itmdqz82gsj4gcmw?pid=GRCDQZ82GSJ4GCMW&srno=b_13&ref=214edb81-4b00-45ce-b92b-f726adf0419b)

Do You thik This card will be fine Or I should try some other card?? i have limited Budget 8000/-

Plz Friends i really Need some expert advices...

the ddr3 models are for the option to do dual graphics with a amd apu. this does not apply to you, you should go with the gddr5 as it is better performance anyway. how big of a power suppy do you have? i wouldnt go with any thing above that anyway because you r cpu will likely bottle neck it anyway

I also would indeed, use 64 bit OS as with 32 bit it only uses like 3.5 or so RAM, the rest is wasted. As said above, go for the DDR5 one.

I Have 450 watt psu.....according to u i can go for ddr5?? and it will not bottle neck my pc??

Heironious :

So you are telling me i should use 64 bit os and go for ddr5?? will it be fine?? as i told my proseeor is dual core 2.5GHz. will it not bottleneck my pc??? help!!!!

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 16, 2014

the memory no that is dedicated for the gpu, the 250 itself wont perform the greatest do to your cpu but it wont have horrible performance either. i wouldnt go with anything above a 250 but it should do fine in your setup

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 16, 2014

if you ever get 8gbs of ram you will need a 64bit os you only have 4 so it isnt doing any harm as of now. in a 32bit os you can only have up to 4gbs of ram.

Hi, I'm from India too. I don't know almost anything about compatibility with DDR2, DDR3 and DDR5. So, you must get ASUS Nvidia GeForce GTX 630 4GB DDR3 for Rs.6,000 Max (I got for Rs.4,000, Flipkart). It will work awesome.

Or you can also get ZOTAC Nvidia GTX 650 1GB DDR3 at :-

So, It's your choice for you want a GPU with 4GB Memory or a GPU with better cores and better engine.

Bad_Kitty13 :

yeh i know r7 250 is not a great deal but currently i am using amd 6450...and a limited budget 8000/- whats your openion to go for?? R7 250 or some other card?? i have vga adapter but some ddr5 cards has no vga ports..this R7 250 ddr5 edition has a vga port....

My quistion is simply R7 250 ddr5 will support it or not?? and will it be a bottleneck system?

because my processor is dual core 2.5ghz. if i want go for R7 260 or 260x or better my whole system must have to be changed....so i have very limited options..

Achint2000 · Mar 16, 2014

Hmm.... Yes, it could go for a nice bottleneck. But, I prefer the GPU's I suggested. No reason to worry dude, these GPU's without a VGA port have DVI to VGA Adapters. Check the details in the section of "Sales Package". It'll include "DVI-VGA Adapter".

Achint2000 :

your link is for DDR5...so i am geting confused...you said for ddr3...

Achint2000 · Mar 16, 2014

Surajit04, I meant DDR3 for GT630 and GDDR5/DDR5 for GTX 750/750 Ti. Small mistake

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 16, 2014

basically a r7 250 is a rebranded 7750 with a performance boost all you need to do is plug into pcie slot on your mobo. if you want to go with the 630 you will need a 6 pin power connector from your psu. your psu doesnt have any 6 pin power connectors. also that psu is very cheaply made it only has 16a on the 12v rail that is 192w. the 250with your system would draw around 130w
http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/xfx_r7_250/15.htm
the test setup is around 20 watts more than your setup this how i came to this conclusion. so anything with a higher power draw would cause system instablilty. the 250 doesnt require a 6 pin power connector and is optimal for your pc

Don't try to run any graphics card on the Zebronics PSU.
They're the worst power supplies in India.
Go for a good power supply first, then a good GPU.
Also, your CPU is very slow. Since you have a G41 motherboard, you could install one of the e8xxx series CPU's. They're faster.
