New Graphics card for IMedia S2985?

[risen777]

Hi
I have just bought a imedia S2985 and I'm finding it hard to find the motherboard information for the best graphics cards it can have. Its a slim line case also so I'm guessing this is where the issue is as well. After taking the casing off it just shows Acer Inc and MS-7869 Ver : 1.0

Help please 😀

cpu-z will give you the model number of the motherboard.
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html 1.75 for windows.

ATC-605-UR13 by the looks of it. it has a x16 pci-e slot so you can throw any gpu your cpu and psu can handle.

and there in lies the real problem. its a low power dual core running off a 65w psu.
so not only will you want a new gpu you will want a new power brick and sooner rather than later a new cpu.

my advice is if you want a gaming grade machine. send that back if you can, eat the restock charge and buy a better base platform. with an aim to spend £450-500 if you want to play games at 720-1080p.

You may have to open it up and take a couple pictures for us.

I'm guessing that it's an m-ATX motherboard, but it's a cheap case, so there's a good chance that its power supply isn't trustworthy and can't support a very good graphics card... but that's okay because you can probably only have a low profile card anyways.
