What are the parameters when upgrading to a new video card?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hello,
I would like to upgrade my computer with a new video card, but I do not know which would be compatible with my current scenario.
My system:
- System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
- System Model: M61PME-S2P
- BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
- Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) 8650 Triple-Core Processor, MMX, 3DNow (3 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
- Memory: 3072MB RAM
My current video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT.
I would like to know what are the parameters when upgrading to a new video card, what needs to be considered when doing this upgrade?
Which video card do you suggest for me and why?
Should I drop my computer and by a new one?(I consider that I have a strong processor and enough memory, but I am not sure if I replace only the video card, that will solve my problems to play the latest games...)
Thank you,
Csaba

More about : parameters upgrading video card
refillable said:
Your:1. PSU (Power Supply)
2. Space (Make sure there is an enough space)
3. Games (or programs and apps) that you'll pay and what monitor configuration are you planning to run
4. Budget and what you're leaning to and against (example you prefer nVidia than AMD)
Hello,
1. PSU: ATX 450 W AC 230V 50Hz 4A
2. I have a relative big computer case.
3. The goal of this upgrade would be to play the latest games (e.g. Need for Speed The Run)(and I would not like to repeat this upgrade in the next 3 years). My current monitor configuration is 1680 x 1050.
4. 100-300 euro. I have no preferences.
As I understood the only parameter is the power supply, is that right?
