Want to upgrade my GPU

[AfroSam3000]

What is the best graphics card i can get that will play games at low to medium, maybe high settings?

I have a Compaq Presario Media Center SR2011WM Desktop PC. I have already upgraded the PSU to 400, maxed out the ram to 2gb and changed my cpu to a Intel Pentium D 3.00Ghz. Im also running windows 7 professional 32bit.

better go for 4 gb ram and also whats your budget for the new gpu ?

 

[swifty_morgan]

you're asking a lot from a little. monitor res and budget-yes................ is 2gigs really the most you can put on that machine?

 

[AfroSam3000]

yep, 2gb is most i can put in it. My budget is from 30 to 150, but more on the lower end of that though.

You shouldn't be looking to game on it unless u wanna play duke nukem 3d or max Payne 1

a 6670 to a 7770 to an r7 260............ didn't check a price on that........I wouldn't go too big because of the dual core cpu limitations and the very restrictive ram limitation. ...... what resolution is your monitor?

what about a game like DayZ? i was looking at the amd 5450

 

[AfroSam3000]

I dont need anything more than 720p

 

[swifty_morgan]

I play some games on my 720p TV. the 5450 is not enough. and it won't be very good for DayZ. if you want to keep the expense low.......... a 6670............ http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7512490&CatId=7005

it'll be better but your whole system is still slow by today's standards.

would the 6670 be compatible with my PCI slot? here is my motherboard specs from hp.

[swifty_morgan]

yes............. i looked at that yesterday.

 

[AfroSam3000]

Thanks for the help. It looks like I will be getting the 6670.

 

[AfroSam3000]

Do you think the GDDR5 version of the 6670 1GB is compatible with my system?

a hd 7770 is not bad, get that. I have it in one of my computers and in the other I have a r9 280x
