[SOLVED] What graphics card would be good for my motherboard?

[TylerPayne86]

I was wondering if someone could help me figure out what graphics card would be good for my motherboard. I was thinking of getting a XFX Radeon RX 580 off of Amazon I was just wondering if it would work for my computer. Below is a picture of my motherboard. (I know I need to clean the dust off)

From the motherboard point of view, you have a pcie x16 slot that will fit any modern graphics card.

A graphics card like the RX580 needs a lot of power.
If your psu does not have both a 6 and an 8 pin pcie power connector, it will not work.
What is the make/model of your power supply?

What is the make/model of your motherboard?
Looks like a HP oem motherboard.
CPU-Z will tell you.
Do you have a uefi bios that some newer graphics cards need?

What is your cpu?
There is no need for a high performing graphics card if the processor is not strong enough to drive it.

You have a cheap 300w psu.
The GTX1050ti is about as strong as you can run with it.

Measure the dimensions at the back of the psu.
If it is a standard ATX psu, it will be 86 x 150mm.
A RX580 will need a quality 550w psu.
Here is a list for other graphics cards:

Do not go cheap on psu quality.
Here is one list:

How about this one?

What I don't know is if your motherboard has a UEFI bios that a GTX1050ti needs. Such a card will push the limits of your 300w psu.
Unless you can return the card if it does not work for you, I would pass.
Look in the bios to see if you see any option relating to uefi or legacy.
PC's like HP will often have minimal bios options.

To be safe, you might want to use a GTX750ti instead.
You can probably find one on ebay for $70.
The lower power needed will be more appropriate to your psu and The GTX750ti is vastly faster than your integrated graphics.

Thank you, do you know if that would run the new modern warfare game?

 

[geofelt]

I do not know.
But I see no reason why not.
Use google to find the requirements for that particular game.
Usually, you will see minimum and recommended configurations.
How well it will run is another question and that will depend on your cpu and game settings.

i think your mobo can go with the 1650 , you need to upgrade your psu if you want the rx 580

I can run the 1650 with my current psu?
