Looking to upgrade :]

[fernandohxc13]

Hello, I am looking to upgrade from my intergrated HD Radeon 6530D. My budget is currently $150 and under. I do not know much about graphic cards but im sure mine has to be one of the lowest rating out there. I play dayz but it is so framey I cant seem to last more than a hour before my eyes and head are killing me. If there is any more info I need to post on here let me know :] And thanks in advance. Also I was looking to get into elder scrolls online with the graphics card.


Thanks guys sorry for the delay but let me know if this is enough

Motherboard-AAHD2-HY (Holly)
cpu-amd quad core a6-3650
8gb ddr3 system memory
gpu- amd radeon HD6530D
1tb hard drive

also i believe a 350 or 300w power supply

You need to post your entire pc specs. Otherwise, there's nothing to help.

as listed above, yes and is necessary.

For the meantime I'll suggest a Sapphire R7 260X 2GB

If he has a 300W power supply, that wont work. 260x says it wants a 500W

 

[fernandohxc13]

ok, so if i get a higher psu... then whats next? i dont know anything about motherboard gpu compatiblity :[
i can get a 500w psu easily

 

[pyr0_m4n]

Motherboard should work. It has a PCIe slot.

Ya, so if you get a 500w psu you should be set for most cards, but make sure you get the dimensions of said card and make sure it fits in your case

You know i posted that before he listed his entire full PC specs, so it was a suggestion before his specs were there, The R7 260X can run off a 400W PSU also, depending on the quality.

the GTX 750Ti is the best GPU when i comes to power consumption/performance, defiantly the GTX 750Ti.

Thank you all so much, I really appreciate everything you have offered me and I will let u know what I have had success in, hopefully you will be here to hear the results, if not.... till next time :]


ps. also curious about the radeon r7 series, any extra thoughts? Have heard alot of good things about those ghost thermal editions.

 

[unknownofprob]

yes, the R7 series is good but some of the better R7 series (260X) and others you may need to upgrade your PSU for it to work.
