The GT 610 is a pretty weak gfx card. I'm going to assume you have a small factory PSU and cannot go with a high end card. If that is the case, the fastest gfx card available that doesn't require aux power for the gfx card is the HD 7750.
The info you provide is nice, but not what is necessary to determine what you can use. The make/model of PSU would be needed. Is the case a std tower or a low profile tower? Don't waste your money on 2GB VRAM with a low end card. 1GB is all it can utilize. And be sure to go with GDDR5, not GDDR3 VRAM.

Low Profile case: http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-100357LP-128-bit-Express-Profile/dp/B0095MRLJ2
Std heigth case: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_n_feature_keywords_0?rh=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A541966%2Cn%3A193870011%2Cn%3A284822%2Ck%3Ahd+7750%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6147184011%2Cp_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A3542896011%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_five_browse-bin%3A6147186011&keywords=hd+7750&ie=UTF8&qid=1387944175&rnid=6147185011

Hi Clutchc,

Thanks for your information, I'm pretty new to this PC things. can you please explain me about the "Small factory PSU" and what does PSU stands for? .

1] what's a std tower and low profile tower ?

2]In addition could you tell me what type of information do you need me provide?


"SORRY" if the questions are stupid ?


Awaiting for your response.

OK, no prob. PSU = Power Supply Unit. If you want a high-end gaming card ($$$), you need a large enough PSU to support it. If your PC is an off-the-shelf model, it more than likely came with a small PSU just big enough for what components were originally installed. But all that may be a moot point anyway if you only game at 720p resolution (1360x768). The HD 7750 would be enough video card for that resolution w/o having to go through the added expense of replacing the PSU.

1) Some PC cases are narrower than standard. Those are referred to as low-profile cases. Example:
Low profile: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/directron/supercase3172.jpg
Std mid tower: http://c.shld.net/rpx/i/s/pi/mp/30421/4364183010?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aaawave.com%2Fimages%2FPRODUCT%2Flarge%2F28334_3_.jpg&d=36c24a738d9bd3132cffb54245a608385b69d7ce
As you can see, the expansion slots are shorter on the L-P case and would require a shorter card than normal.
Do you know the make/model of your case?

2) As long as you are staying with a video card (like the HD 7750) that does not need aux power, all I really need to know is if you have a L-P case or a std mid tower case.

Hi clutchc,

Thanks for the prompt response.

My cabinet model is QORI 3337 - A2 (450W), which is a midi tower cabinet (std mid tower)

Awaiting for your response.

That case appears to be a European model not sold here in the US. So I'm going to assume you are in Europe? UK? Anyway, here is a selection of HD 7750 gfx cards that will work nicely with your system and provide plenty of gaming power at 720p resolution. This is a UK Amazon site. If you are elsewhere, you will have to locate them locally.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_nr_n_2?rh=n%3A430524031%2Ck%3Ahd+7750&keywords=hd+7750&ie=UTF8&qid=1388113554&rnid=1642204031

I put this O/C'd version in a budget PC I also have: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GV-R775OC-1GI-Radeon-Graphics-Express/dp/B007AKF288/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1388113707&sr=1-1&keywords=hd+7750
It performs great even at 1080p.

Hello Clutchc,

Thanks for your response .I'm in INDIA.In my location GT 610 card price is lower than the HD7750 Cards.
Here's the link to it. http://www.flipkart.com/gainward-nvidia-2gb-ddr3-gt610-2-gb-graphics-card/p/itmddsy9r9gsjfzb?pid=GRCDDRZZCYGK7HZF&cmpid=content_graphics-card_8965229628_gmc_pla&tgi=sem,1,G,11214002,g,search,,19319548220,1o2,,,c,,,,,,,&gclid=CIux6vvc0bsCFe4A4godMBkAAw


It's specification is given in this link http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-610/specifications .
It says that it requires (29W) of power.

The price is also around 49 dollars.

Now can you give me a good solution to this.


Awaiting for your response

pheonix.

Yes, one would expect the GT 610 to be lower priced. It is a less powerful card: http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=1380&gid2=1312&compare=radeon-hd-7750-gigabyte-1gb-oc-edition-vs-geforce-gt-610-galaxy-2gb-gc-edition

If you are buying the card for gaming, you will be disappointed. Get the HD 7750
If you aren't a gamer, then it won't matter.

 

[pheonixkrish]

Thanks

I get it now but it says for HD 7750 the recommended RAM should be 8 GB but i have only 4 GB......

Is that a problem.. ?

Awaiting for you response!!!!!!!

 

[clutchc]

No, the amount of system RAM you have doesn't make enough of a difference to worry about in relation to the gfx card. I have used an HD 7750 with 4GB Win7 systems with no issues at all. In fact, that is the first time I've seen that disclaimer. All gfx cards need to have the OS set aside a portion of its system memory for a frame buffer. Even integrated cards require that. That is all they are referring to.

If you happen to see one of the HD 7750s listed with 2GB of VRAM though, pass on it. The extra VRAM is a waste of money in a card of that caliber. Especially at 1360x768 resolution. Stay with 1GB. That is more than necessary at 720p.
