wanting to upgrade

[moff_man]

hi guys, first post in the LAN lounge so be gental


ok i have a system pritty basic, running windows vista (aghhh) over all its good but im after a better graphics card for it.

i have no idea where to start and im not in to trusting ebay sellers so i thought i should ask the question here. i have frends in the it busness but there sales man you know the type....

let me know if you need specs as i heard diffrent cards go with diffrent systems etc, and i want the right one....

not looking for the best but im after a good one for games like need for speed sim city etc etc

ummm, ok... specs are needed, does your motherboard accept agp or PCI express, what CPU and Ram are you running etc....

[moff_man]

i am running a celeron d cpu 3.06GHz with 2.5 GB memory, ill have to get back to you on the motherboard

[levymetal]

as long as your motherboard has a pcie slot i would go with a 5770. that'll play every game that's out on the market (won't max out the settings, but you'll be able to play them) and is the best value for money. any better than that and your cpu will probably be a bottleneck

[moff_man]

im pritty shure it should have the pcie slot, ill grab a pic up this arvo for you to have a look as i would have no idea. also what brand and etc is the 5770, and is it readly availble, (small town only have harvy norman or computer shops)

[deathsgt60]

the 5770 is an ATI card. ATI have been killing the GPU market for the last 18 months due to nvidea being lazy as shit.
i had a 5770 and loved it, the only reason for an upgrade was i got a bigger screen.

The ATI 5570 is a good card, for a comparison you could compare pricing with the Nvidia 9800GT.

[levymetal]

someone needs to clean out their dust bunnies! and yeah 5770 will work fine, and is readily available from anywhere .

[Uber_Flacky]

just make sure the power supply has enough power to run the card

I recently spent $700 At PC Case Gear (just last week) and service was excellent put my order in night before and picked it up next day. Best pricing on the net for almost every product they sell. I was looking at one of them HD5770 but bought a M/b with a built in HD4200.

Si i agree with Dijm8 consider buying from these guys instead of ebay

just an update. got a video card - NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS, also got rid of all that dust there was a lot in there, and now im running windows 7 pro and the system as never ran quicker.
