Re: Need advice on new video card for this system
The folks over at Toms hardware gave good advice. Power is the
key issue, it seems you do have a pci-e slot. You could take the
side cover off of the pc, look up top where the power supply is, read
what the label says, wattage and amps on the 12 volt line. You really
need 24 to 26amps on the 12volt rail to run a pci-e video card..
Check you power supply to see if its got a six pin pci-e connector,
that would be nice. If not you will have to use a adaptor, which I
really hate to do...Chances are the new video card will have to have
extra power. That is why you need the six pin connector, or a adapter.
