Recommended Video Card for my Old PC PCI-E

Post by jyushinshuu »

Board: Foxconn 45CMX/45GMX/45CMX-K
Bus Clock: 333 megahertz
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 08/21/2007

2.67 gigahertz Intel Core2 Duo E6750
FSB 1333
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
4096 kilobyte secondary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)

2GB of RAM DDR2 1024


I don't really know much about computer hardware and how it works. It even took me some time to find my board's name cuz I lost the manual. My old video [Geforce7300 GT] card stop working and no display so I'm using the built in video output in my board.

Now I need to buy a new video card that is compatible for my pc specs. Any recommendations? Need for gaming that has high durability.

And what do you guys think of my pc's specs, is it too outdated? Cuz I love to play different kinds of new games, is it time for brand new pc? or should I look for video card?

Not the best of hardware but however if you want an ok graphics card try a GTS 250
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product
Pretty much $75 + shipping. It basically is my Graphics card with another name.
I can run all games at high-max at 1920x1080 with good fps.

However your system would probably bottleneck it. You probably have a pci-e x16 1.0. It would work but wouldn't get top performance. so doubt you would get the same results I do.

Don't know what you are smoking but you can't even get a 9800GTX+ anymore yet alone a 8800GTS. At least with the major electronic sites/places.
