Hello,
I have a home built computer that I purchased on Craigslist.
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955, 3.2 GHz
RAM: 12 GB
Motherboard: Micro-Star Z1-7596
Graphics card: AMD Radeon 5450
OS: Windows 10 Home
Disk drive: Samsung HD204UI
The computer came with Win7 and got upgraded to Win10 when forced to a few years ago. Ever since upgrading to Win10 I have had problems (the latest being this past August when I had to do a clean Win 10 install). I believe the problems are related to drivers for the Radeon 5450 graphics card.
I currently have 2 crappy 20" monitors but was wanting to replace them with something like this: https://www.costco.com/Samsung-32"-Class-Curved-Monitor.product.100416413.html
My original question was: Will my current graphics card drive this monitor? However, given the problems that I seem to have with Win10 updates, should I just get a newer/better graphics card?
I do not game on my computer. The most resource intensive thing that I do is run SolidWorks CAD software.
Any recommendations for a reasonably priced, reliable graphics card that would suit my needs?
Thanks in advance.
