Which Graphics Card would be BEST for my PC?
Can I use anything better than R7 240 1GB GDDR5?

My System information is listed below:

System Model: G41M-ES2L
System Type: X64-based PC
Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz, 2600 Mhz, 2 Core(s)
RAM: 4GB DDR2

Power Supply Model: Cheval ATX-400W
AC Input: Voltage 230V, Current 5A, Frequency 50Hz
DC Output: (Orange +3.3V, 14A) (Red +5V, 20A) (Yellow +12V, 22A) (White -5V, 16A) (Blue -12V, 0.5A) (Purple +5v, 2A) (Grey P/G, OK)

I would go with a gtx 1030. If you had a better PSU you could probably go with a 1050 or 1050ti. But even then, you system may bottleneck those GPUs. I think the 1030 is the better choice.

I don't know if a motherboard of that era would work with the newer Nvidia GPUs.

I'd suggest a GTX 750Ti would probably make a nice upgrade from the R7 240.

It might not hurt to do some searching to see if anyone has used a newer Nvidia GPU, say a 900 series or a 1050/1050Ti successfully on the G41M-ES2L motherboard.

Now that I think about it, I think you may be right if that board does not run a UEFI bios. I cant confirm if it does or not, but I did not see a mention on the gigabyte support page.

Looking at the PSU (and CPU) I would suggest to go for a GPU with a drawing 75W max, thus with no external PCI-E power connectors.
Could be that someone in the forum has one of these cards left over and could give it to you for more or less free.
Investing money into a new GPU I feel does not make sense.

You mean most suitable because the best GPU for any system would be the best one on the market.

 

[7664stefan]

? He means most suitable considering the given hardware...what else?

 

[RifatAhmed]

yup I meant both most powerful & suitable for those specs!
