Hello,
I am running a home designer software that runs very slow as soon as I click on 3D rendering.
After research I have found that the program requirements is 256 MB of dedicated video Memory.
My current system, DX4850 gateway with 6 GB Ram, 64 bit and open PCI Express X 16 slot currently only has a intregrated graphics card with 1696 MB memory with only 64MB dedicated.
I only have a 300W power supply and I have no desire to change this. It will be beyond my ability to even add a graphics card without needing to learn to change a power supply.
My research of graphics cards never seems to indicate the power supply requirements. I don't want to buy too much video card for my power supply, but at the same time if i'm going to take the time to upgrade, I want it to be worth my while with at least a decent card that will run the softward quickly.
Although this is not a new question, my google search only leads me to old threads and references to video cards that are not longer available, so I need some current suggestions.
