Hi everyone,
I would like to max out the graphics power for the dell vostro 260 without causing bottlenecking in my system.
I need help selecting a GPU. I saw a reccomendation for the AMD Radeon™ HD 6450 1GB DDR3 on the dell support forums. I was ready to get the MSI R6450-MD1GD3/LP Radeon HD 6450 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card , but I'm not sure if that is the best my system can handle. I want to play more demanding games than flight simulator (i.e. wow, borderlands 2, skyrim, battlefield 2, etc.)
I have two old GPU's. The first one is the ZOTAC ZT-98GES5P-FDL GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card and the second one is the SAPPHIRE 100287VGAL Radeon HD 5670 (Redwood) 512MB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
■Are there any articles to help me learn how to choose a GPU that won't cause bottlenecking in my system?
■Do I need to upgrade my RAM considering I have (1) 2gb stick (factory RAM) or will the GPU upgrade be enough to run the games I mentioned earlier?
