Looking for new NVIDIA graphics card

[hotrodss]

Hey Folks,

 

I'm currently running a NVIDIA GeForce 7300LE, I know it's old (bought computer in '07). Looking for a new NVIDIA card, does anyone have any suggestions/opinions on a new NVIDIA GeForce graphics card?

 

Thanks

Get the best one you can afford.

Only if his PSU can handle the wattage and it has the correct connections for a newer video card.

Yeah, unfortunately PSU considerations limit options. I'm not exactly certain what nvidia's top "safe" card (almost certain to work on any system) is.

hey ya'll,

 

Sorry it took a while to respond, My PSU is a S Power unit model # PS-450W.

Well I just got a GTX 570 and that says 550w minimum. I think the 560 says 500w. You'll need something lower. Ah, the 550 Ti is rated for 400w minimum. They run around $150.

The 560 (not the 560 Ti) is rated for 450w minimum, which is exactly what you have so you could try it. They run around $200.

Just remember, the older the PSU, the lower your actual wattage it actually produces.

I just bought a new rig with a GeForce650Ti. It is a bit expensive card but it will last longer...
