Hello,
My old nvidia 7600GT has stopped working and I'm looking for a replacement.
I run an ancient system with Intel Core 2 Duo processor, most likely E6300, at approx 1.8Gb. The system has 4Gb RAM and a 500W power source.
I'm willing to spend around 150$ to get a new graphics card and I was wondering if it would be possible to jump start the old system to run modern games by just upgrading the GPU or is the processor too old and I would be better of getting a cheap (and silent) GPU instead?
Also, will the 500W power supply be enough for the modern monsters?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
