I have an old PC from my father, it has decent specifications except the program my father programs does not interface with the GPU so therefore this computer has good specs except for the GPU which is pretty terrible.
So for me to able to run any games, recent or new I will be needing a new GPU.
My specs are:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz
Manufacturer Intel
Speed 3.2 GHz
Number of Cores 2
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
Manufacturer NVIDIA
Chipset GeForce 9400 GT
Dedicated Memory 512 MB
Total Memory 4.0 GB
Memory 8.2 GB
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
Service Pack 1
Size 64 Bit
Edition Ultimate
I want to get a new video card. But the main inquiries are how do I know if I have enough physical space in my PC and how do I know if I need to upgrade my power supply?
Also for next gen games, what video card should I be looking at, (specs, still probably Nvidia) and will I need to upgrade my CPU, and is that possible?
