Hello,
What is the best graphic card to install on an Asus P7P55D-E LX?

Motherboard:Asus P7P55D-E LX (2 PCI, 4 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR3 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN)
Processor: Intel i7 870
Power Supply: 700w

My current GPU: Nvidia Zotac GTX 470 (1280 MB Memory)
I've been really troubling myself to find the most fitting Gpu for this motherboard for days now, you guys are my last chance :3

Due to the age of your system I'd stay away from the newer Nvidia cards, they tend to work best with UEFI enabled motherboards. If it were me I'd go with an RX 460 2gb, if saving money was a concern OR if you play mostly esports types of games(LoL, DOTA 2, CSGO, etc). If you have money to spare, or play AAA games like BF1 or GTA V, then I'd get an RX 470.

Try anything that is a single fan or mini itx. EVGA makes a really great 1060 that is very small and can fit into your motherboard. The GPU you have from what I see is a dual fan model. What is the problem your having exactly? Is this a space issue or something else? If you can fit a dual fan card then the best gpu for your mobo is really whatever is the highest model you can afford. Try to specify the exact problem your having, I'm a bit confused as to what it is exactly.

Thanks for answering.
The problem is, I don't know if high model GPUs work perfectly fine with this system or not. Since I am kinda bad with collecting PC parts, pretty much everything is unclear to me about buying a graphic card. I don't even know if I buy a Nvidia 1050 Ti, it would give me just a black screen and doesn't work at all.

They say my system can bottleneck with high level cards, since the motherboard and the processor are kinda old. And I wonder what card would do just fine without making any trouble.
For example, would 1050 Ti work with this system? Thank you
