1.	Solve : More graphics card help please?
Answer» Ok I got some great info from you all Thanks. Now I'm looking at buying a graphics card on Ebay but the price is pretty low compared to others so I want to MAKE sure this card will work and it's a safe buy. My system: Dell optiplex 760 80 GB drive intel E8400 3.06GHZ core 2 duo 1333MHZ FSB 3 g mem DDr2 1 PCIe X16 Graphics expansion slot Has integrated Video which I want to upgrade for cad capibility. The card I'm looking at is a 1 GB nVIDIA Ge Force PCI EXPRESS x16 The PROGRAM I'm using ( Chief Architect) recommends 512 or better so the 1 Gb mem sounds good but the price is half ( $61.00) or less then what I've been comparing to. Is this a good choice for me and is this a deal or a scam? Any thoughts will be helpful. Thanks, JessQuote The card I'm looking at is a 1 GB nVIDIA Ge Force PCI express x16 Specifically, what graphics chip is on that card?It should work, but your power supply could be a little weak for it depending on what card it ACTUALLY is. What power supply do you have too?Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT. I have a 300 watt power supply. I have a new 350 watt power supply I think I can install if thats better.You'll need more than that...Nvidias site says 300 is the MINIMUM you need. I would put the 350 in to be safe
