any graphics card recommendation for my motherboard?

[shermz]

Hello, recently my motherboard died on me and sent it to a repair shop to have it changed. However, after a few weeks of usage, i noticed my graphics card started to act up and eventually died on me too. So any recommendation on graphics card? Not looking for a high end one, just a mid range one will suffice as im planning to get a new computer if it dies on me again.

Motherboard : Asrock H71M-DGS


P.S im not a computer expert so i dont really know anything else.

So you want to have a mid range good optimized GPU? How are we supposed to do that without any specs? PSU? CPU? Your need Needs? Please just be more specific.

you can buy GT630 for 100$ , it has 2GB of memory and 810 Mhz of boosted clock speed , 96 Cuda cores and it's 128bit graphic card it'll do fine on performance and it's rather cheap in the price.

If you go to windows explorer, go to my computer and right click and click on "Properties". It'll give you information about your system like how much ram you have and what CPU you have.

Also you can usually pick up a 750 ti for around 100 dollars which is fairly low power and will give you really good performance

Generally third party cards have better cooling solutions and run faster.

Wait for Polaris 11, might be a very good budget card!

the graphic chip is being made by Nvidia and customized by other manufactures like gigabyte and asus and so on ..

Just wanna ask, if the Asus GT 730 is compatible with my motherboard?

yes it's compatible

ok thanks! do i have to check my PSU and CPU specs?

 

[Ryan_78]

Why a lower end card. I mean he has no purpose of buying new. I disagree with you guys entirely. He Says it's only till ne gets whole new thing. I reccomemd you buy a used GTX 660ti or a HD7850 off eBay. They are around 80 bucks.

The new low end cards are not worth ONE BIT of your hard earned money.

if your PSU is upper then 500W there's nothing to worry but if it's bellow 500W I'd say first to calculate the power needed then if it wasn't available then go for a new PSU you can calculate the power consumption in here:

and for the CPU if it's not too weak don't worry about it.

Do not worry i am getting a used card. It ranges from around SGD$80-90 so I am still checking out if its compatible.

just checked my PSU, it says 300W. the calculator is quite difficult to use when i dont really know the terms. please help!

 

[iXeon]

just enter the components you already have and it will give you the maximum power consumption of those part in total. so 300W for all you have with a little more for caution, 350 or 400 W i think would be enough for you.
so how much your is you PSU?

my psu is 300W. i am not too sure about my calculated one.

 

[iXeon]

then give me your specs and let me calculate it for you

what do you need? so far, the only specs that i know of are these:

motherboard - h71m-dgs

intel i5 2500 3.3ghz

2x 4GB DDR3 RAM

PSU : 300W

 

[iXeon]

hard drive , optical drive , fans , pci express modules (LAN card - Wifi Adapter - USB 3.0 card)

1TB HDD

not sure about the rest

Are you wanting to get the GT 730? It's a low end card and probably not able to run CSGO on even medium settings if you are using 1080p resolution. Look for a card like the GTX 750 or 750ti. New they are US$100, so used they should be quite a bit cheaper.
