Hi, I have a HP xw4400 workstation with an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.80 GHz processor on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. And I've been thinking of upgrading my graphics card from my current ASUS EAH5450 Series, to a EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked. I'm fairly certain it will work with my system, but I wanted to make sure with some experts. And also see if anyone has a better recommendation. I also wanted to know whether I should consider upgrading my processor or not as well?

If you need it, here is my motherboard model: HP pcb fab rev 1.06. I think that's the correct listing. It was just above the memory card slots on the motherboard, I think that is where it usually is.

Thanks!

The Graphics card will work. The Core 2 Duo is very old, you would rather buy a new cpu and motherboard instead of upgrading your processor. The 750ti is a great choice.

hi friend you are good to upgrade the graphic card but your processor has low bus speed so it will bottleneck your system and you will not get full performance try to upgrade it to quad core processors also ram can bottleneck it if you don't have enough for it try to get 6 or 8 and if you can try to get more than that
