Nvidia Compatibility on HP a810n

[fth504]

Thank You for stopping by and answering my question.... .....I am planning to upgrade my (HP a810n) with a Nvidia GeForce 7950 GT...I am just wondering if it would work if I acquire a larger power supply? What power level does this graphics card need? and if not capable. what would be a good graphics card to play games such as FS2004?...

How much is this upgrade going to cost you? It might be a better upgrade path to an HD 4670 which doesn't require an external power connector to work.

a good power supply for that (your motherboard had an AGP graphic card slot) AGP 7950GT would be the Antec Earthwatts 430w for $40 right now at newegg

*EDIT* also download hardware monitor, the HPs have pretty poor cooling and the 7950GT runs pretty hot, you'll want to keep an eye on your temps
