DDR1 Graphics Card

[aggelos2669]

Hello,
My pc has ddr1 1 GB Ram, Pentium 4 processor with 3.00 ghz speed.What kind of graphics card is needed?

You will struggle to find anything for a pc that old
Everything will be severely bottlenecked by your cpu does your montherboard have a 16x pcie slot?

Depends on what expansion ports the motherboard has. Ram type amd cpu are inconsequential to what gpu will fit into the motherboard. Whats the make and model of the motherboard?

 

[Graeme9]

you mite need a new pc

PCIe was not made until 2004, and widespread use did not come for a few more years. I don't think any Socket 478 motherboards have PCIe slots.

OP, you need an AGP video card. My old Pentium 4 machine has those specs and had an ATI Radeon 5200, which you might be able to find used online. But since that hardware is over 10 years old, you won't find it new anywhere. And $50 even is a steep price, so go out of your way to find good deals. (Like, $20 or less IMO)

i dont know what kind the motherboard is guys

Don't invest in a new card , you need a new build , that is far outdated.

 

[bignastyid]

You can run cpuz and it will tell you.

I agree with Blackbird it's a lost cause dumping money into such an ancient platform.

guys i dont have the money to build new pc i want for this only a gpu card to play some games

 

[bignastyid]

What games? Because unless these games are a decade old even adding a gpu may not make them playable on such an old system.

i want to play at least gta san andreas idk those games low graphics

i want to play at least gta san andreas idk those games low graphics

That is not going to happen (at least very well) on that ancient tech. Sorry.

Greame you don't even know if the system has an agp slot.

 

[aggelos2669]

my friend is playing league of legends 1.5 gb ram cpu pentium 4 2.50 Ghz without gpu and the graphics low but 0% lagg

 

[bignastyid]

It may run as min requirements are a pIII. But we still need to know what motherboard you have.

 

[aggelos2669]

where can i find what kind is my motherboard?

 

[bignastyid]

As i said before run cpuz.

[aggelos2669]

i msged you

 

[aggelos2669]

waht do u want to learn about my cpu i opened cpuz

 

[bignastyid]

Click the mainboard tab and it should show the motherboards model number.

 

[BurgerandChips66]

What is the Motherboard Model?

 

[aggelos2669]

the model is P4iG65G 1.00

 

[BurgerandChips66]

Does it look like this ? http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/P4i65G/

In which case you have an AGP X8 slot.

The best card it will take is the Radeon 3850 I would guess.

Make sure you get the AGP version of the card, not the PCIe version (aka PCI Express).

It won't run games that require anything above DX 10.1, so be aware.

 

[BurgerandChips66]

Not that cheap though...
