As the title suggests I'd like to find the best video card for my old computer.
When I was using this machine as my main "rig" I had a GT 730 it in as my very first purchased card, then moved up to a GTX 760 (2GB) which unfortunately died on me only after a month of having it.
I've attempted, countless times to sell it online (I actually am right now but no one is biting as usual), to no avail. So given that I will never get what I want out of it from a selling stand-point I'd like to get a video card for it and use it as-is; a back up, spare, that kind of thing.
It sports the following;
ASUS P5KPL-AM
Intel Core2 Duo E8600 @ 3.33Ghz (I also have an Intel Core2 Quad Q9650 @ 3.0Ghz for it, but I see no real performance gain)
4GB DDR2
500W EVGA PSU (which has power cables for 1 video card)
Compaq Case (not the original case, but I would say it's about the same size as the original)
---
Ideally I'd like to be able to play FPS games on it at 1080p/50-60FPS (or higher? :O), some MMO's perhaps. My brother would like to use my current machine to play a game he has apparently never been able to play given its high requirements (back in the day, any way). So perhaps with this older machine which is still great for a media station as far as I'm concerned, he can play Diablo 3 on it, along with whatever else he may be interested in - although something tells me he'll need my machine for the newer games.
