Currently keeping an old machine going (don't ask; suggested a new one but that led to a war with many casualties! 😵 ), with the use for it being to play games online (not sure if anyone is familiar with Bluemaxima Flashpoint or any of the formerly flash/ now html5 escape games). Not looking for a high end rig here, but the current card needs replacement. I looked in the guide for GPU's here, but didn't find the answer I needed.
Acer Aspire M1100 Desktop PC
Motherboard: RS690M03 ,
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 6000+
RAM: 4GB
Current GPU: EVGA NVidia GeForce GT610
PSU: Thermaltake SMART 700W ATX 80 Plus
SSD: SandDisk 220GB
Two suggested cards by friends of mine were: EVGA NVIDIA 9500 GT (1GB), and Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce 1030 (2GB). Read that the 1030 may not support "legacy" BIOS; at the same time, not sure the 9500 would be able to keep up wth today's gaming sites.
Appreciate the help folks. Note: with all due respect, please don't suggest "get a new machine". I know the situation, but there's nothing I can do about it; it's not worth the war at home.
Thanks,
