I'm working through an upgrade vs buy new computer process. My last decision is whether I'll be able to get a video card that will work with my motherboard and be enough of an upgrade to have a decent impact on performance. I've looked for tools I can use to find this out, but it's hard to wade through the info.
My computer/ motherboard:
Computer: HP Pavilion HPE h8-1120
Motherboard:
My current video card:
My computer runs on a Intel Core i7 2600
Operating speed: 3.4 GHz (up to 3.8 GHz turbo) Number of cores: 4
Is there a fairly simple way to narrow down a list that will work and then from there evaluate the value of the upgrade?
Should I assume that I must get a PCI 2.0 card and that a 3.0 won't work?
What specifically do you think I should be looking for in the new card vs what I have?
Here's the list I get when searching for "PCI Express x16 2.0 Graphics Cards" on NE, but no idea if that means these will work. (editing out link)
Greatly appreciate the help.
