What kind of GPU can my Motherboard support?

Guest · Feb 14, 2015

Hi,
I want to upgrade my GPU but all of them have to be put upside down? why is that? The fan is always under and not facing up.

Motherboard - Asus PKPL AM / PS
Processor - Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.20 Ghz
Ram - 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 400Mhz
PSU - Frontech 450W
O/S windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
Could you suggest me that which graphics card would fit in my PC?

Any help will be appreciated.

thats a VERY old system, and anything that you put in it will not reach its full potential. if you want an upgrade, then a full system upgrade is needed.

But what if I want to upgrade only the GPU?

And also, Will anything happen if I insert the GPU up-side down?

you cannot physically put the gpu in upside down, if it is you will know it. While you can technically put whatever graphics card on it that you want your cpu will not handle it. From what I can see the best cpu you can put into that motherboard would be a lga775 core2quad.

Yes, that is true but there must be a way to insert a GPU eg. GeForce GTX 750 in my Motherboard. It fits perfectly, I looked it up, just that the fan will be below and not facing up. That's the only bar here.

the fan/heat sync is always facing that direction, if the problem is that there is a card directly beneath it then there are cards that only use a single slot

can you get me the exact model of the cpu? that would help alot

My friend noticed my mistake and pulled this up=> http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html

I dont have any card beneath my GPU so there's space for the fan. So how about it?

You mean that?
Or Processor?
Processor - Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 2.20 Ghz.
Or something else?

Processor, and thank you.

How about this card? It shouldn't bottleneck much.

there is cheeper, like http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Low-Profile-PCI-Express-HD545XZQH2-HD-545X-ZQH2/dp/B005IUW7YE/ref=pd_sim_pc_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1PNKJ1C2HF33J99JD5GZ

What will bottleneck what is kind of a grey-zone here because any current referance point that we use for bench marking is out of the league of these chips

Guest · Feb 15, 2015

It's good but the slot of the GPU and my slot if kinda different. Mine is PCI Express x16 1.1.

gibbly · Feb 15, 2015

it wont effect you much, 2.0 cards can use 1.1 its just a little slower. These cards aren't fast enough for it to make a difference.

Guest · Feb 15, 2015

SO what's the Nvidia equivalent of the AMD Radeon HD 5450 1GB? and wont it be better if it was a GDDR5?

gibbly · Feb 15, 2015

about a 7800 gtx, It would NOT be better to get a card with gddr5 because if you put any of those cards on that cpu it would bottleneck (unless you are doing graphical compute but it may actually still bottleneck for that)
