Hello All,
I have an older computer / motherboard. I would like to know what would be a nice video card for this board.
BIOS / 09/16/09 - F3
Motherboard & System: GIGABYTE GA-MA785GT-UD3H (Rev - 1.0)
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 635
Chipset: AMD 785G (RS880) + SB750/SB710
ATI Radeon HD 4200 [GIGABYTE] Video Mem - 512 MB of DDR2 SDRAM
Kingston: 2X2 (4) GB DDR3-1333 / PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM
Power Supply - 500 Watt. (Thinking about replacing this with bigger / better.)
Currently I'm using Onboard Sound & Video.
Using onboard (wired) Wifi
Added kdlinks ue4 usb 3.0 interface. (Plugged in mini-pic-e slot.)
1 TB segate internal hard drive (sata)
1 WD 250 GB hard drive (sata)
1 CD/DVD read / writer (sata)
1 floppy drive
This is my board:

The board doesn't have pci-e 3.0, Only 1.0 and 2.0.
What Games?
Lots of older games like - Blood, unreal, doom, quake 1 & 2, quake 3 arena, rtc-wolfenstein, silent hunter 3, Doom3 and add-ons, s.t.a.l.k.e.r series and lost alpha, total war & rome total war series, painkiller, the dark eye, banished, wasteland 2, sir you are being hunted, shadowgate, shelter games, amnessia games, metro last light & metro 2033, van helsing games, ultimate general: Gettysburg .. etc.
I don't think I need 2 videos cards. Pretty sure my mobo doesn't support it. I don't really understand the 2 video card (sli?) thing anyway.
Thank You!
