Solve : finding a new graphic card.?

Answer»

I'm struggling with finding a new card. I have a Asus P5B motherboard, 400w power supply with only 4 pin connector and my LCD screen takes a  VGA cable. I can not PLUG a new card into my power supply so I'm limited. I can SPEND up to $150 tops and I do like to GAME. Can you folks pick me some cards?

  Would this card fit on my motherboard, I'm concerned with the dual slots http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gt-430-review/2The GT 430 just isn't a gaming card: would make a good HTPC card with just enough power to cope with video postprocessing. It's simply horrible, with 96 cores and 4 ROPs... and I don't understand why they strapped 1 GB of slow DDR3 on an extremely narrow 128-bit bus to it.... probably nothing more than a marketing gimmick. We're looking at lower than 60 FPS on mainstream resolutions such as 1366x768.

I would recommend the HD 6770 for an under $150 card that would be supported adequately by a 400W power supply. Even with this card, we are looking at just 60FPS at 1680x1050. 1080p gaming will be viable if you choose to turn all details down to LOW. It consumes merely 241 W on load with an i7 920/Asus P6T Deluxe. If you can find a HD 5770 for cheaper that would be great, as the 6770 and 5770 use the exact same graphics core (Juniper XT).

I was looking at the HD 6850/GTX 460 at exactly $150 which have far better price/performance and can handle postprocessing in games without too much of a performance hit but you would have to upgrade your power supply to the recommended 500W with at least two PCIe power connectors.thanks for that. could you tell me if this card would work for me? http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/ENGT440DI1GD5/  does it need a additional 6 pin connector for power?, Am I compatible all the way around? I'm trying to keep costs as low as possible. It would work for you, it doesn't require PCIe power pins at all and draws everything from the PCIe slot, and the recommended PSU wattage is 300W.

Why the GT 440 when you can get the HD 6570 with superior texture caching and a far better fillrate... same price and power draw, too...
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/AMD-Radeon-HD-6570-512-MB-Video-Card-Review/1271/6for some reason I can only find this http://www.racunari.net/detalji/index.php?kompo=0922013394&k=09 its DDR3 rather than DDR5. is this still better than the GT440? I'm limited to only who will ship to or in Serbia. thanks again.and is this card I gave a link to in my last post compatible with my system? Sorry if I'm being redundant, just want to be certain, thanks for your time.with DDR3 at most you'd see a decrease in 2, maybe 3 FPS, these are low-end cards that aren't highly dependent on memory speed. Think of it as giving a cheap, low-end Volkswagen Jetta a HIGHWAY or a one way street to drive on. (DDR5 vs DDR3). You won't really see a performance increase on the highway, because the car's speed is the limit. But when you give a jet plane a large runway or a small strip to take off on, of course it will be able to reach higher speeds on the large runway.

You're all set    It will be compatible with your computer!Thank you very much! )))
