4gb graphics card without fan vs. 2gb card with fan?

[Solarstarshines]

I think he is saying 7000 RS (Indian Rupee) which is around $100.

Ahh gotcha

Hi,
Well you haven't posted any information about your machine so that is hard to say
You can use cpuid/ cpu-z and post the Mainboard/ cpu/ memory sections
CPU-Z | Softwares | CPUID

You can also open the side of the case and take a picture of the inside
See the links above my signature on how to upload... images here.

Sorry for such a delay for my complete specs using CPU-Z software. Here are the screenshots.

You're pretty safe on installing any graphics card as long as you have a PCI-E x16 slot. Additional 6-pin or 8-pin power connector may be required for some graphics cards. The GT 740 won't need any of that.

How do I know from these screenshots if I have the PCI ex 16 slot that you're talking about?

Hi,
Thanks
Now just wondering what type and size computer case you have
Can you post a picture or a link to the actual computer model you have or open it and take a picture of it.

 

[archz2]

Aaaaarghhhhhh.....And I thought CPUz would answer all the technical questions.*



I'm outside my house currently. I'll post*the photographs of my CPU opened up in few hours.


It's a regular size CPU cabinet. Very simple model. No frills or anything like that.

It's not the cpu that needs room it's the graphic's card
You can measure width length and height if it's easier in inches

Yeah, I understand that. That's what I meant that I was hoping cpu-z would give all the numbers and technical insider information. Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

Hi,
cpuid did help
It just does not give the size of the computer case
The actual model brand of the computer would also at the least give us something to google.

 

[archz2]

Okay, here are photographs of my CPU when opened up. My deep apologies for not cleaning up my CPU and keeping it very dusty. I clean it once after every four months.

Hi,
Looks like the card will fit
Also looks like you need a serious cleaning out too

Thanks for replying. So, I have a slot for graphics card that is of a common size? [emoji4]

You don`t have to worry about having enough room with either card you picked out, they are very small.

I would also go with the 2 GB card with the fan.

It doesn`t matter where you live, you could live at the South Pole, unless the room is freezing cold, your video card gets hot.

"Looks like the card will fit"? I thought you were fully confident and won't say the phrase "looks like" . I was asking all this just because I could get my card home delivered from Amazon and install it myself. Hehehe...

What useful information did cpuz screenshots gave to you? [emoji4]. I also want to learn.

 

[AddRAM]

The card WILL fit

The card uses a PCI-Express slot and your motherboard has 1 PCI-Express slot. You are good.

But you need to clean that PC before you add anything more to it.

Take the motherboard out, take that case to the car wash, rent a power washer, do something

LOL

Okay, I'm happy to announce you all that I've placed order for my graphics card. It will arrive tomorrow. [emoji106] [emoji2]. Thanks a ton everyone for your kind, helpful and highly responsive support.

I noticed in the image of my graphics card that I ordered. It has a small cable to power its fan I suppose. Where would I attach it? Can anyone circle it within the photographs of my CPU that I sent?

 

[AddRAM]

The fan is connected to the card, the card is powered by the pci-e slot, you don`t have to do anything more then install it, hook your monitor to it, then download the nvidia drivers for it.

Hi,
The cable is for the vga port
It's a low profile card so it can be split to take up 2 slots on the back of the computer on a mini computer case
Yours is not a mini case so it will only take up a single slot on the back of the computer.
