Biostar tp45 HP

Looking for some help as to what the best card I could add to boost gaming performance.

I currently have a ATI Radeon 4850 512MB but it seems to be having issues with online MMORPGs.

I notices that there isnt much room next to the PCI slots so I assume Dual Profile Cards are out. The 4850 is thick but only in so much as the fan/heatsink space. The Dual Profile or Double cards 5770 or the like look doubtful.

Any input is appreciated.

you can try looking for the 5770 slim cards. i know xfx makes one. and there are also the the 6850 slim cards out too, but those are like 200 dollars or so. ima try and link them

if you want a slim card here is the best slim card out there. its an HD6850.

but if you're just looking to replace your regular you can upgrade to a regular hd6850, which is way way cheaper than the slim version and not single slot.

sorry for double posting

Thanks for the input.

I will do some searching for 5770 slims and regular 6850's.

Here is a link to my Mobo, I'm still not sure if it will take a double card or not, a number that I'm looking at today appear as if they would fit.

The current card looks pretty much like this:

Any further feedback would be great.

it will take a double slot card. they skipped a slot so it doesnt block a slot. the card you pictured will fit perfectly.

Thanks for the feedback.

The card pictured is the one I currently have (Radeon 4850).

I guess I'll take a further look at the dual slot 6850's now that I know they will fit.

Again much appreciated.
