My brother just got a low-end new computer, and I'm wondering if I can get some sort of a graphics card so he can play a few better games on it.
He's just played his way through Half Life 2, and was wanting catch up with some games that he's missed over the past few years. He mentioned games like Bioshock, Saints Row 2, GTA4, Arkham Asylum, and Wolfenstien. Not nescessarily the most modern games, and he doesn't need them to look great (which is impossible with this pc anyway)
It's this computer, to be precise: www.acer.com.au/ac/en/AU/content/model/PT.SGK02.026 So the card will need to be low profile and pci express 16.
The psu is a Liteon PS-5221-06A2, and the label reads
+3.3V & +5V total output cannot exceed 80W
+3.3V & +5V & +12 & -12V & +5Sb total output cannot exceed 220W
According to CPU-Z, the mobo is an Acer X3990, and the sticker printed on the inside reads
H61H2-AD
15-Y61-011000
Monitor is 1280x1024
He's actually got Arkham Ayslum, and it almost runs with an acceptable frame rate on medium settings.
