Getting A New GPU

[gakukid991]

Hello guys im getting a new gpu for my pc
here are all my pc specs http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-68844

i know that it is not good but i don't need to play games at superb high res on it
Mostly i use it to do some 3d project and sometimes i play games a mid resolution
The gpu i was look at is the GT730 GDDR5

i wanted to ask since my mobo does not support pci 2.0 will it take the speed down a lot from the gt630

thanks

Gt630 is not very good for anything requiring a lot of graphical power, as it doesn't have any. But provided you are ok with that you'll be fine. PCI-E won't be an issue.

HOWEVER - you only have a 280W PSU, I think that any new GPU would be a risk as that PSU will have aged and might be more like a 250W PSU now. But if anything was going to work a 630 would be one of them.

ups sorry i writed it wrong the gpu im getting is the new one who got out last month
the 730 GDDR5

and about the psu , I can power up the g210 that needs the same power as the 730
and about graphical , im not doing it for money , im still learning so i want something to start

That motherboard is pretty old, upgrading to the 730 would definately bottleneck it. If you can give me your full pc specs maybe I can help out a bit more. But otherwise I would save that money and invest in a new build.

yeah i know that , i buyed the gt730 anyway , i will save some money to build another pc and put the gt730 on it , till i get my hands on a better gpu , at last this is way better than my old g210
