Best graphics card for lenovo h330?

[adamlindley98]

Title says it all, can someone tell me what graphics cards fit into it and can play games on ultra with good fps. If there aren't any decent ones, is it possible to put a full sized one in there somewhere?
Sorry to keep it short, if you need any more information just ask.

I need to know What PSU do you have?What is the resolution of your monitor? I would recommend the Radeon HD 7750 is the fastest graphics card you can get right now that doesn't require an auxiliary power input; it draws all that it needs from a 16-lane PCIe slot. $94.99 $84.99 after $10.00 rebate(s)

You won't be playing on ultra unless you have a monitor res lower than 1080 with the card i linked

 

[adamlindley98]

Ok, my resolution is 1080x1024
and psu is 240v

 

[adamlindley98]

i can spend alot more money than that (about $600) so if there are any better please say

 

[adamlindley98]

What do you mean about auxiliary power input?
Also, Is the hd 7750 the same size as the hd 7770?
The case is very small and needs a low profile graphics card, but does this mean that it will be substituting size for power?
Thanks

this 7750 is low profile so it would work. the price is not as good as other 7750s, probably because its the only low profile 7750 on newegg

No room to tinker in your case and yes this means less performance the best card you can get is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202002&Tpk=7750%20low%20profile#top

i really need ultra so is it possible to change cases?

 

[adamlindley98]

sorry for being a nuisance

You should be able to switch your components over to a microATX case and upgrade your PSU to one with PCIE connectors, then your graphics card options are basically limitless.

 

[adamlindley98]

thanks xiinc37 that has really helped me!
does it have to be a certain one or will any do?

 

[adamlindley98]

also, would an adapter for PCI express video cards work instead of a new psu?

 

[xiinc37]

For the case just about any will do, as long as it's microATX. Any bigger would likely be wasted space with the size of your motherboard, and anything smaller would defeat the purpose. As far as the powersupply goes, I find it hard to recommend anything but the best because I've been burned on cheap PSUs before. So I would say: at least 500watts, 80+ Bronze or better, and made by Antec, Corsair, or Seasonic. For the graphics card, I have to ask- Do you ever think you'll get a higher res monitor? That pretty well dictates what card you should get.

Didn't see your last post. If you switch your case, you're basically going to have to get a new powersupply with it because your current one is a weird form factor that wouldn't fit.

 

[adamlindley98]

I dont think i will but if i got a newer monitor the exact same size would that have higher resolutions?

 

[xiinc37]

That depends, whats the diagonal size your screen in inches?

 

[adamlindley98]

it is 19.13 inches

 

[xiinc37]

A quick search shows 19" 1440x900 monitors. If you have room for a 21" you can get 1920x1080. You could go higher res at similar sizes but the prices tend to get pretty ridiculous after a while. At any rate I would recommend at least a 7850 for the sake of future proofing.

 

[adamlindley98]

so, if i was to but a evga gtx 670 ftw i would be wasting my money? And my monitor is 1280 x 1024 so i will definatley be getting an upgrade to 1920 x 1080

 

[xiinc37]

With your current monitor yes. But if you upgrade to 1920x1080, then a 670 would be appropriate. Actually a 670 would still be overkill. But you likely wouldn't have to worry about graphics for several years.

 

[adamlindley98]

thanks! you've been a massive help.
