Graphics card

[maxpayne_88]

Hello,
i want to know what the best graphic card i can get for my dell demension e510 without upgrading the power supply. I have ati radeon 4670 currently installed.

That looks to be a P4 system. No need to go higher than the 4670 unless you upgrade the rest of your system.

But if you really want to spend some money, 5570 should run, it's a tiny bit over the 4670, or a 5670, but 5670 may be close to the power limit.

I really doubt you will see anything run faster on a faster card unless you have a beast of a P4 that's running at 3.4gig + and 3-4gig of RAM. Even then it's iffy.

The 5570 is about the same if not worse than the 4670.Theirs really no point in ugprading to that card unless you want DX11 support.But it's so slow it won't even be able to play DX11 games.

I think the 5670 is the abosulte max you can put into your system without having to upgrade your power supply.But even the 5670 is only 20% better than the 4670.Sound like a waste of money to me.

If you need a quick soultion for a little bit better gaming get the 5670.But i reccomend starting from scratch and building/buying a whole new computer.Even if you get a bigger Power supply for a better card anything over a 5670 will start get bottlenecked by your old P4.

As you can see here their practilly the same card.

You did not read my post, if you have a P4 system that is stock, you will not see any benefit from upgrading the video card, or so little that you won't be able to tell.

The 5570 and 4670 are practically the same card.Even if you had a better system you wouldn't see any improvement graphicly.
