Will my graphics card work with stock Motherboard?

[XihaoKevin]

I'm planning to get a ASUS GeForce GT 610 2GB DDR3 (GT610-2GD3-CSM). And I have a stock computer, built by HP. Here are the specs: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c01638240

I'm not sure if the Motherboard is compatible with the ASUS GeForce GT 610 2GB DDR3 (GT610-2GD3-CSM), I'm also not sure if the PSU can handle it, or if it will fit into the stock case. Please help!

it will support gt610 without any kind of problem....

the motherboard is compatible? will it fit in the case??? what is the power supply of the GT 610

Yes, it will support your GT610. However, I'd recommend paying the same and getting an R7 240. Its price has gone down significantly over the last few months. You can now pick one up for around £29.

Gtx 750 ti would be a better option it's better than R7 240

I like your thinking. However, that's probably way over the OP's budget though. If he can afford it, then yeah, why not?
Also, @XihaoKevin According to the link, you have a Core 2 Quad Q8200 (a decent old CPU) which could definitely do with a good upgrade.

System Power Supply Requirements for a single GeForce GT 610 (Retail) version
• NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 300 Watt or greater system power supply. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)
• the system power supply must also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 16 Amps or greater

The HP Pavilion Elite m9525f 350W power supply has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 25 Amps. That's more than sufficient.

That ASUS GT610-2GD3-CSM will have no problem fitting into the computer case and is fully backward compatible with the motherboard's PCI Express 1.1 graphics card slot. The graphics card gets all of its power through the PCI Express slot on the motherboard.

Your motherboard has a pciex16 slot so the card will fit easily in it and the pc has 350w psu which is more than enough for a gt610....no need to think more, just buy that card...

I don't feel like upgrading my CPU at the moment, since I think it is very decent and gets the job done pretty nicely. If you can give me any recommendations for a better CPU, and it is in my budget range, then I can defiantly give it a shot.

Does it have CUDA and DX 11 support?

Sorry, it doesn't have CUDA (as it's not an NVIDIA card), but it does support DX11, 11.2 and DX12. Also, I made a typing mistake before. I meant to say that your CPU is old but good, so you should get a better GPU (not CPU) to compliment it. Sorry about that.
If you decide on upgrading, I'd highly recommend this card (a million times better than the GT 610), and has many more CUDA cores:

Also, you'll need a MOLEX PCI-e adapter.

It's your decision though, but I'm just recommending it.

Yeah the gtx 750 is good but I prefer the gtx 750 ti

Yeah the gtx 750 is good but I prefer the gtx 750 ti

The GTX 750 Ti is out of my price range, also, which one is better? The GTx 750 or The GT 730

 

[3hunna]

The Gtx 750 is better

 

[sivashanth2001]

Yeah, I would go with the GTX 750. It should be perfect for your needs (it has many more CUDA cores than the GT730 and it even supports DX12) .

 

[3hunna]

Yeah, I would go with the GTX 750. It should be perfect for your needs (it has many more CUDA cores than the GT730 and it even supports DX12) .

The gtx 750 is actually a dx11.2 card but some the dx12 effects would work on all dx11 , dx11.1 & dx11.2 cards

 

[sivashanth2001]

Yeah, I guess so. Meaning that the GT 730 is DX12 compatible too.

So does that mean that most GPUs which have been released in the past few years will support DX12 if you have Windows 10 installed?

 

[3hunna]

If they support at least dx11 yeah they'll but only some affects will work but dx12 games won't be out till 2-3 more years but dx12 would certainly give us a boost

 

[XihaoKevin]

The GTX 750 is out of my budget, but the GT 730 isn't. It is just $99.99 at my local store

 

[sivashanth2001]

I see a GTX 650 available on Amazon for the same price. I'm just trying to find the best deal for you.

Get a used gtx 750 then
