    Buying a new graphic card


    Hello, I'm thinking of buying a new graphic card and I hope that you guys could give me some ideas, since I'm pretty much clueless (even though I read the long post about finding the right graphic card) :)
    Basically, I'm going to use it for gaming only, my price range is limited to 250 USD and whats very important to me is that it has 2 HDMI ports.
    Thanks in advance SF

    A 560 or 6950 should be in your range, but u will only see an improvement of 5% or less with your current processor and your motherboard could use an upgrade also, and your money would be better spent in those areas first....

    Not too sure about anything Dell makes or has made....The two HDMI ports limit the selections here is the better option Newegg.com - ZOTAC ZT-50706-10M GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

    And the lesser but much cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814500217

    .

    He saw your specs and deducted from it which type of motherboard you may be having.

    What mobo are you using? Are you going to change your power supply? 750 watts sounds like overkill in your system but you have it already in another machine so that's great.

    He Saw the specs but your CPU told the story your cpu might be limited to certain mainboard types

    He probally research what board your chip uses and went from there FYI Nvidia cards draw more juice then a ATI card that is why he Recommended 750. just to be on the safe side

    In the end the Op will have to make the choice Budget or the best bang for his buck persay
