I got a refurbish desktop that i have to install a brand new windows as it comes without operating system. when i was downloading the drivers i see that the graphic area say i'm running on MICROSOFT BASIC DISPLAY ADAPTER (LOW RESOLUTION) i start searching by the pci slot info but i don't know if they are 2.0 or 3.0 i think they are 3.0 and then my powersupply is 380 watts so i just want a graphic card that can handle my pc it doesn't have to be nothing wow because i would like not to change my current power supply. I will add here some pictures of my motherboard and internatl info. Thanks for any help.

My pc is : intel core 2 quad Q9400 @ 2.66 and 8 GB RAM

The 750 Ti does not need a 450 watt PSU, it will run on a good quality 300 watt one, your Antec 380 watt is a good model.

The 210 is a very slow card. If you want a basic use card, I suggest a GT 730 GDDR5, pretty cheap and about 5 times faster.

Your system does have a video card, it's just the onboard chip in the CPU, you need to install the drivers for it from the system or motherboard vendor site.

Are you looking for a video card because of the driver issue or because you want a faster video card for games? If you just install the motherboard drivers, there will be a video driver there as well. If you want a card for gaming, the new ones may not work too well, but the last gen nVidia 750 Ti is a good cheaper card to get.

Hi thank you for your reply, yes i need a graphic card as the desktop don't have one, but i don't want to change the power supply that is 380 watts. Can you tell me any card that can support 380 watts because the card you tell me it need 450 watts.
