According to newegg you have 1 pcie x16 1.0 Slot. A video card such as a gt8600 would probably best fit your needs, looking at your other specs. If you got something like a gt630, all your other components would bottleneck your gpu and might cause instability. I know that a GT8600 is not a current gen card, but you might be able to buy one used on ebay. That's my 2 cents.
Could you guys confirm whether all my other components were bottle-necking the GT630 or was it something else? Meanwhile, I am planning to try return it to the shop with hopefully no dramas. As cranky penguin mentioned, would a gt9600 work better in my situation or is there a slightly more powerful graphic card that would suit my pc best? Thx guys for your input, I really appreciate it. |

Try the either the 8800 GTX/GTS cards. (These are PCIe 2.0 too...) Remember, they must be returnable in case it does not.work.

Try using the interegated video also. Take out your discrete video card and try getting the interegated graphics to work. It might be better than the 7900GS. Or your video card is failing becuase I had one fail on me before. Have you got any BSODs lately?

It sounds like it could be a driver issue. Did you completely remove all traces of previous drivers when you uninstalled your old card? And did you perform a clean install of the drivers for your new card?

I am going to give this a try tmr and will see how it does, thx for your input mate. ![]() Download whatever driver you want to use to your desktop. Next, go to Windows update and set it to 'check for updates but let me decide what to install' that will keep windows from automatically installing it's video driver.
Next go to C:/Nvidia, open the folder and you should see a folder named Display driver. Inside that folder you should see a folder for every driver you have ever installed. They will be names 320.49 and such. Delete every one of those folders, but do not delete the display driver folder, just the ones inside. Next go to control panel > uninstall programs. Uninstall all of the Nvidia display programs, but this is important, uninstall the display driver last. Uninstall the Nvidia update, Phys X, 3D drivers (few people use them), Nvidia HDMI, and the Nvidia update (it does not work anyway). Last uninstall the display driver. You will be told to reboot, do so. When you log back on, windows will install a display adaptor, that is OK. Open your driver that you have downloaded from Nvidia, agree to terms, do not select express install, select custom install. Make sure the 'clean install' check box is selected and uncheck everything except the display driver and PhysX, then install. You will have to reboot after that. That will be the cleanest install you can get, and you will not have the HDMI driver to conflict with the Realtek drivers, but should have all the drivers you need. You can then set windows update back to whatever you like. |

Also, when you're up and running, download and install GeForce Experience which will notify you when new drivers are available. You can easily perform clean installs with the aid of Experience then to keep you up to date with the minimal amount of fuss.

Sorry late reply your board does indeed support a PICe P5AD2-E - Motherboards - ASUS I have a very similar board on my tester as I think I mentioned - having to rush through mail - and the GTX 650 works fine in fact positively refurbishes the old girl my WEI is now 5.9 as opposed to 4.3 prior fitting the card.
Now the cheaper one that I quoted may not give you that sort of difference but it will knock spots off the on board stuff. |
