Hello,
I recently purchased the Gateway FX 6840-15e after the Holidays at a local Best Buy outlet. I am far from a serious pc-gamer ( I play 2 current mmo's (EQ2/WoW)) however, I would like to upgrade the graphics card on this unit along with the power supply. I was wondering if anyone could help me select compatible upgrade options for my PC. I know crossfire and SLI is not an option with this computer, so I am limited to a solid single card choice. In addition, I have a 24" HD Gateway monitor (1920x1200 resolution) that I play the above mentioned games on. While my current card handles my current two mmo's fine, I am planning on playing Rift soon (already pre-ordered and participated in beta). With Rift in mind, I would like a performance boost to play on higher settings. During the past Beta event, I was able to play on low setting at 45-70 fps, Medium at 20-40 fps, and high setting at 15-30 fps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
