What type of graphic card sutable for my old P4 Computer

[tnjayadevan]

Hello,
I have a 4 years old computer with P4 Intel 915G Chip set Motherboard (details available at: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/915GVM-V.html#/?div=Detail)Please helps me to find a suitable graphic card (PCI or AGP) for my computer

hmmmmmmm I think ATI 1650Xpro is not bad ....... I played Call of Duty 4 on Very High setting with resolution 1280*1024

I also played Jericho and MoHA .......... and Crysis on low settings


or nVidia 7950 ..... I'm not sure if its AGP or PCI-E

Go to www.ncix.com and browse what is available.

You can improve on what you currently have but it won't play many demanding games very well. Also the drivers for non-PCIe cards are probably older.

You haven're really specified your reason for upgrading so it's hard to recommend.

You should be able to find a card with hardware video decoding which is good to help the CPU if that older CPU gets maxed out with 720p or 1080p video.

i was use 8400 gt in my p4 nearly 6 years ago.It was not a high end graphics card but according to cpu it gave good performance without worry of tempt.
For technical specification please go nvidia.com

hd 5450 is a better choice because it has dx 11 and will run windows 7 really smooth then a dx10 card.
