I Have a emachines t5234 with a 300psu with wondows xp 2gb of ram duo core AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ / 2.1 GHz. Will This card be ok running on my machine or no? I just want it to play league and smite. Nothing to high or to low and is this card backwards compatible?
I have a integrated graphics card its a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE nForce 430 and I wanted to get this card because the integrated I get 10-25 fps, and my if I put this one in and disable the integrated one will my FPS go higher? My cpu when playing is 50% and my ram is 40-50% and if I disable the integrated one will that free up some space? RAM and CPU. If so I will buy it, I just want a card to that will give me a better FPS

yeah the 750 low profile would be the best bet.

smite needs 8800 gt minimum

the 610 gt is a LOT weaker than a 8800 gt.


740 gt.

4gb of ram is also recommended

I would by that but my power is 300Watts and it recommends 400watts. Is there a card you know that is in a good range with 300Watt minimum or do I have to upgrade to a stronger PSU?

it is a 64w card.

people run 750 ti's on 300w power supplies.

So be clear, and than I'm taking ya word, the 750 is 300w minimum or higher. The 740 GT takes 400w or higher but I can run it on a 300w power supply. nothing will cause damage to my desktop or the grapics card right? i see people complaining that if the PSU isn't strong enough it'll burn out. if it doesn't, than I'm buying it and Thank You!

that low profile 740 gt does not require a 6-pin, it is not reference.

a gtx 750 low profile is also an option, if it is within your budget
