Is my hardware compatible with graphics card???

[jeweel]

what is the best graphics card (nvidia) compatible with motherboard intel 945 gnt, processor ht 3 ghz

 

[edeawillrule]

Geforce 9500 GT maybe 9600 GSO

I'd suggest a 9500GT ot 9600GT at most unless you upgrade your CPU

Thanks.

I am confused whether my motherboard's pci express x16 graphics conncector will support 9600gt and whether it supports GeForce GTX 260 or 9800gtx+ just for upgrading the processor.

Actually i wanna play "prince of persia" like games. What should i do?

A PCI-E x16 slot will support any graphics card. You just have to be careful of bottlenecks. Its pointless to get a GTX260. Like others said, the 9600GSO/GT will be good enough.

And you have to consider the PSU ...

 

[jeweel]

what psu i need??

 

[pondlife]

450 to 500 watt should do it.

I've wondered if you need PCI-E 2.0 if you have a dual PCB card like the 295.

 

[jeweel]

which brand will be good, Antec true power?

My brother have had a pc - intel DG31PR mother board, dual core E5200 processor (2.5 ghz) , t220 samsung monitor. Which will be the best graphics card for him and offcourse the psu?

thanks

You won't NEED it, but it might impair performance on such a high-end card. The performance hit would be even more significant in the 2 GPUs on the card communicate to each other through the PCI-e bus.
