Nvidia graphic card

[nuubik]

Hello.

I have Asrock Alive NF4G-DVI (http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/ALiveNF4G-DVI/ ) motherboard and I want to upgrade my video card. Is it possible to put Gigabyte GF GT430 2GB GDDR3 PCIE GV-N430-2GI for example or nvidia cards with PCI 2.0 slot and have a working pc screen? I just want to find video card for gaming. which is supported by my pc.

 

[ASHISH65]

Yes it will support.gt 430 are not so good for gaming.whats your buget

 

[sam_p_lay]

Yeah you're paying extra for a 2GB model of a card that stands no chance of gaming that requires more than 1GB.

 

[nuubik]

aprox. 50-60 euros. I don't need anything supernatural, just little better video card than my current, which have 512mb and it's radeon. Those new ports PCI 2.0 don't need specific motherboards, motherboards like my also supports it?

 

[siddharthmukul007]

your mainboard will support gt430...but if you want to game i suggest you atleast get the gtx550ti.

 

[sam_p_lay]

What is your current card? It may be faster than the GT430 anyway despite being 512MB.

as long as it's PCI-e it is ok, just be sure your psu can handle it esp if you decided to buy a powerful gpu.

and yes i agree, get a better gpu if you can, 430 is slow, not to mention old.

and just in case you're not too familiar, don't be blinded with the card having 2gb or memory, even if they slap 4gb there it wouldn't make much diff, and it's ddr3.

get something better, just an opinion, but depends on your budget of course

 

[nuubik]

well , which cards should i take for example, to play this ( http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=2323&game=Counter-Strike:%20Global%20Offensive) I don't use maximum settings. All on low or medium and resolution 800*600 or 1 notch higher

 

[nuubik]

now i have this card - http://www.bildites.lv/images/1v2e8t9o36whxywaax6.jpg

 

[siddharthmukul007]

all pci-e cards are both backward and forward compatible.
just ensure you have the proper bios update

 

[sam_p_lay]

Well a GT430 will be faster than your current card then, but maybe not much faster. If you could get a GT440 or GT630 with 1GB GDDR5 for that money, that's a better choice.

 

[nuubik]

For example this one? http://www.1a.lv/datoru_komponentes/videokartes/gigabyte_gf_gt630_1gb_gddr3_pcie_gv-n630-1gi/12818316/
Same price as gt 430

 

[nuubik]

fck, my bad ddr3

 

[siddharthmukul007]

^ +1....its a good card indeed

ddr3

 

[nuubik]

well, i found this http://datori.dataleks.lv/lv/item/video-cards-karte:24028 , for aproxx my budget

 

[nuubik]

And this http://www.1a.lv/datoru_komponentes/videokartes/palit_gf_gt630_1gb_gddr5_pcie_ne5t6300hd01f/15453472/

 

[siddharthmukul007]

that should do the trick for you....but remember gainward is not the best of brands around

 

[nuubik]

and how about palit?

 

[sam_p_lay]

Good finds. I'd actually take Gainward over Palit, but they're probably both fine. Gainward used to be very highly regarded. They don't have a bad reputation now, just less prominent than they used to be. Palit are typically the cheapest around, Gainward are generally a bit more expensive.

 

[nuubik]

Oh, one more quaestion, how much i could get for that radeon card which i have

 

[sam_p_lay]

Well it's no more powerful than the built-in graphics that come free in modern Intel processors, so not a lot! I'd hold on to it as an emergency backup.

 

[siddharthmukul007]

actually with a budget below 70-80 euros....nothing much can be expected

good luck anyway
