vorge13 · Oct 17, 2015

I dont have a high end unit but is Geforce GT210 enough so i play this games for a better resolution?

CTurbo · Oct 17, 2015

No you would be looking at super low settings at best.

vorge13 · Oct 17, 2015

what graphics card can you recommend? my motherboard is just ASUS P5GC=MX/GBL so i dont know if i have a wide range of video card to choose from.

CTurbo · Oct 17, 2015

What is your budget and current cpu and psu?

vorge13 · Oct 17, 2015

Motherboard: ASUS P5GC=MX/GBL?
Processor: Intel core 2 duo cpu e7200 @2.53GHz ~2.5GHz
windows 7 ultimate 64bit
Graphic card: geforce 8400GS
3GB RAM
thats my cpu for now, i still dont have enough to buy a new cpu but for now i think i can buy any video card that can be compatible with my motherboard

CTurbo · Oct 17, 2015

I would look at the GTX750

vorge13 · Oct 17, 2015

CTurbo :

will that be compatible with the motherboard that i have right now?
or do i need to change anything like the power supply?

CTurbo · Oct 17, 2015

I asked you what psu you had and you didn't tell me.

Yes it's compatible with your motherboard.

vorge13 · Oct 17, 2015

DELL L350PD-00 350 Watt right now thats my current psu

vorge13 · Oct 17, 2015

should i buy new psu as well for that graphic card to work at its full?

CTurbo · Oct 17, 2015

A GTX750 would work fine with it. A better quality psu would be a good thing though.

vorge13 · Oct 17, 2015

CTurbo :

any recommendation regarding on the psu type and watts that i should buy as well?

cdabc123 · Oct 18, 2015

he might have a issue running a gtx 750 those cards require some form of uefi bios to operate and im not sure if his mobo will support that. with the computers i have worked with a gtx 750 wont boot with the older socket 775 mobos

wh3resmycar · Oct 18, 2015

the gt210 is not an upgrade from the 8400gs. just want to let you know.

vorge13 · Oct 18, 2015

is their any other graphics card lower than the gtx750 that i can use?

wh3resmycar · Oct 18, 2015

GDDR5 variations of r7 250, 7750, r7 250x, 7770.

can't recommend nvidia lower than the 750. those cards confuses me and i'm listed as a graphics card expert here.

CTurbo · Oct 18, 2015

I have never had any issues with the 750 being compatible with older builds.

The R7 260, 260x, or 360 are comparable to the GTX750. They use more watts though. I wouldn't be as confident with that 350w psu with one of those.

vorge13 · Oct 18, 2015

cdabc123 :

what graphics card can you recommend?

cdabc123 · Oct 18, 2015

wh3resmycar :

all of those gpus will work if you plan on upgrading your psu, you could also get a gtx 650, 660 or 670 (aren't nvidia modals confusing

)

cdabc123 · Oct 18, 2015

CTurbo :

alot of manufacturers are proactive on updating their bios to make there old boards compatible with new hardware, however some are not

and he does have a pretty early 775 board. most amd gpu's have a switch to go between a uefi and legacy bios making them compatible with a bit more but they are pretty power hungry

vorge13 · Oct 18, 2015

Right now i dont have enough to get a new unit thats why im just trying to make my cpu work and have it upgrade just a little so i can play with much better resolution and not lag or delayed when i raise my settings to a medium settings.

I just want to get a better graphics card for now, that can be compatible with my psu as well.

cdabc123 · Oct 18, 2015

if you get a new gpu and psu you should be able to do that. and then if you ever do upgrade cpu. ect you can move the gpu and psu over. what exactly is your budget

vorge13 · Oct 18, 2015

cdabc123 :

for now my budget for the graphics card is atleast around 100usd for the psu i think 20-30usd is enough.

vorge13 · Oct 18, 2015

i still dont have much to get a quad core unit, thats why im just trying to max out my cpu right now to its fullest.

cdabc123 · Oct 18, 2015

ok i would get a r7 260 or gtx 650 for the gpu, i don't believe you can upgrade to a quad core with that motherboard.

is Geforce GT210 good enough for games like dota2, csgo and cod?
