Can Vostro 220 Mini Tower work with Radeon HD 7750 1 gb? If not, what would be the best quality, highest level graphics card it would run on?

I installed Win 8.1 and now my video games & you tube app won't work. Error msgs say Video Card not loading. After many forum readings - sounds like I need Radeon series 5xxx or higher to work with Win 8.1.

I have 3 of the same computers that need to be upgraded to Win 8.1 and appears will all need graphics card upgrades. Two of the machines will also use virtual world gaming.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the following:
Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro 32-bit (6.3, Build 9600) (9600.winblue_gdr.131030-1505)

System: Dell Vostro 220 Series
BIOS: Default System BIOS

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz

Memory: 3072MB RAM

Current Video = Radeon HD 3600

There should be no reason that card won't work on that Dell PC with Win8. Of course you may have to now install the correct gfx driver for the card. But even the default Win8 driver should run that card fine for everyday use.

Btw, the HD 7750 has been replaced by the new GTX 750/750 Ti for title of the fastest gfx card that needs no aux 6 pin power cable. It runs fine off the 75W PCIe X16 buss power alone. But either card should work fine in your system.
