What Graphics Card should I buy? What Graphics Card should I buy ? for my Micro ATX A780L3L Motherboard With 450 Watt PSU . I believe It supports PCI-E. It will be going in MIDI Case CiT Venus. The Game Requirements are very low in comparison to most but I want the best out of it > Video card with 64 megabytes of video RAM, such as Nvidia® GeForce™ 3 or above I am unable to connect my PSU to the Graphics so it cannot be PSU dependant. ( Only Via MB ) I'll be using DVI output to HDMI My other spec's in-case you require them are : Processor : AMD ATHLON 11 X4 645 My Core speed is 3100.1 MHz I have 8G of DDR3 Ram 1TB HD I would really appreciate some help please !
i would suggest a HD5450 if your on a tight budget and are doing some light gaming, GTA4 lowest settings COD4/MW2 med-high. But if your looking for a better card HD4670 is your answer. it will destroy the 5450 and will offer better experience even though it is "old"(most graphics older than a year are "OLD") it will still play modern games are reasonable resolution and effects. Both cards are not power hungry, but if power is what your worried about then the HD5450 uses 19W fully loaded as apposed to the 4670 that will use a little bit more.
Hey thanks for the reply I'm not doing any heavy gaming as such just a little browser based game mmorpg which requires not very much hardware so I'll go for the HD5450. ~Dan
