[SOLVED] replacing video card

[ricktus]

I have an older HP P6000 AMD Athlon II x4 650 processor 3.6 ghz with 12 mb ram. I did have a GeForce GTX650 video card with 2048m gddr5 PCIE. It went south on me. Computer would not boot until I remove the card. I would like to replace the card but was wondering if the GTX650 with 2GB would work in my system? Or can I only replace it with the older video card? Thanks for any help.

on newer gpu the wattage of the power supply and the bios on the mb may limit you. some older mb dont like newer efi gpu like the 1xxx nvidia gpu. the wattage of the power supply will limit you. most pre built use 75w or less gpu that get there power from the pci slot.

Question from ricktus : "Changing Video cards in PC"

I have an old HP P6000 amd athlon II x4 640 processor 3.00ghz. With 12 mb of installed memory. I have been running a GeForce Gtrx650 until it blew. Since I am just going to replace the board. Does anyone have a recommendation of what video board I could use? Or is the GTX650 the best I can do with this older setup. Any help would be appreciated. I am not into games that much but do like to play with the grandchildren on Steam when they are here.
