Question can i upgrade my graphics card?

[Lee Allan]

Hi is it possible to upgrade my graphics card, my motherboard is a MSI: h110m pro _ vd plus.
im not very tech savvy, tried using benchmark but didnt really understand results. i dont know if my motherboard can take a better card or if it would be worth the extra money if its possible. i currently play football manager 2023 and dayz on low settings.Thank you in advance.

You could, but the rest of your system is very weak by today's standards.

you can but you shouldn't rest of the system is so dated by now, that you would see hardly any difference with a modern graphics card.

Having said that, if you're short on cash and can't afford a new system, swapping that 1050 for 1060 6GB would certainly made for a decent enough upgrade which would just about touch up with max you can get out of your cpu. 1080p gaming would be quite reasonably doable even with more recent titles.
you should not have problem finding one of those second hand for under 150 bucks.

You could but it would likely be bottlenecked. You would be wiser saving for a whole new system as this is just to out of date to get good value out of any individual upgrade

Just to pick around the edges.

Clean off another 10GB of stuff from the OS disk.
Update the bios.
Cost?.....free.

If you have 40 bucks to spend look into getting a 2x8GB kit of ram.

Thanks for all your reply's, im tempted to buy a 1060 6gb(does it matter who makes it, msi etc...). but at same time, i could just use that money towards a new machine. this one cost me roughly £550.00 gpb about 2018 from a guy, who had his own shop in gosport, he was really helpful during build etc, was an admin on a facebook pc forum. Merry christmas to you all.

Is this the sort of thing i should be looking for? and what would you suggest could be better for roughly the same price, im trying to build up an idea of a system to be built. Thanks in advance
