Help!

[tyler225]

i need a high performance graphics card but i cant find one that will run in my computer, my computer only runs pci-e x1?
and i dont want a new computer just yet?
what graphics card should i get and where do i get it?
thanks.

What computer do you have?

 

[tyler225]

an old ibm?
its only ddr1 and its got a 3.2mhz cpu, i dont thinkl its quad core though?

 

[inanition02]

Do you know the model number or any other specifics?

DDR is maybe a pentium4? Would almost positively be single core.

 

[tyler225]

uhm actually yeah its is pentium 4

 

[inanition02]

Do you have any other information on the PC? Motherboard model, PSU, etc - anything?

If you had the IBM model number/style, that would really help - otherwise it's hard to tell you what it can work with.

The GT 520 would be your best bet. It isn't high-performance by any stretch by today's standards, but relative to your hardware, it might fit the bill for "high performance."

Just get a new PC. You don't have a quad-core if you're on DDR1 RAM. The first real quadcore was the AMD Phenom, which used a DDR2 memory controller and wasn't produced until 2007. You have a dual-core at best, but I'm guessing you actually have a Pentium 4, given the clockspeed.

Just saw the update. Anyway, recommendation of PC replacement still stands. Any decent GPU by today's standard would be limited by bandwidth, bus, and CPU. But if you're hellbent on keeping your current PC, the GT520 is the fastest PCI-e x1 card I could find.

Without knowing more about his PC it's impossible to recommend a card. And, had you read the thread, you would see it is a p4.

club3d or zotac?

 

[tyler225]

i looked last night and its got 1.5 ddr 400 ram, and the power supply is 200-240v and its gt a pentium 4 cpu, my case is a 2005 ibm thinkcentre

 

[inanition02]

You want to look at the wattage (w) not voltage (v) on the PSU. If it's 200w, that's super low.

Is there a model number on it?

 

[tyler225]

where would the model number be?

You will never get good video performance with a single core processor.
And no video card will fix that.
If you think a card will make the video work better, sorry.

 

[inanition02]

Likely on the service tag (the one with the serial numbers and whatnot on it).
