I am currently using a Radeon x850 Graphics PCI-E card in my Dell Dimension XPS Gen 4 desktop computer. I wanted to update my computer to Windows 10 but I get a message stating that my graphics card is not compatible. Can someone please recommend a Graphics card that would work on my computer and Windows 10? Nothing too expensive. ($100 or less) Here are my current Computer Specs: PROCESSOR SPEED - 3.4 GHz SYSTEM RAM - 4 GB DDR2 (533) CHIPSET - Intel (925XE Express or Intel 925X Express) SYSTEM BUS SPEED - 1066 MHz POWER ADAPTER - Internal (460 W) OS - Windows 7 Also, I would like to be able to play hd movies. No Gaming.

The problem is that Win10 requires a gfx card be DirectX 9 or later. Yours obviously is not. Which is strange, because most were. So any modern card sold today that is in your price range will be DX 10 or later. But stay away from cards that are UEFI BIOS. Older motherboards' legacy BIOSs sometimes have trouble interfacing with newer cards.

Want to go cheap? Here's a used one that is DX 10.1 and only $20. Faster than the card you have now, too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/272158825271?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
How do I know it's any good? Because its mine ;-)
