Hi

Probably but why would you buy an OLD card like that ?

All the best Brett

It's better than the original Intel HD Graphics. my other choice was Twin Frozr 7870 but requires 3.0 PCI whilst mine is 2.0.any recommendations for a budget but good one?

Hi

ANY 3.0 card WILL work in 2.0 ... get the 7870...miles better...

All the best Brett

You're silly to settle down for an older card xD it's okay but not as good as the 7870! Jump for it 😀

Really? Thanks Brett

Didn't Know that. i'll settle with 7870 thanks for the heads up

Really? Thanks Brett

Hi

Yes, even my card would work in 2.0 (they are ALL backwardly compatible ) and mine is a 7990 6gb ... the best there is.... and the most expensive lol

All the best Brett

Hi

You may have several problems with size there...

The graphics card and the psu may be too big... time to get out a tape measure and measure very carefully...
