Upgrading Card

exor134 · 08-03-2009, 10:45 AM

Hi

I currently have the PNY Nvidia GeForce 9500GT 512mb.

I'm looking to upgrade my card so that i can run games such as Call of Duty 4, Crysis, Left 4 dead, Team Fortress 2 etc. at high settings with considerable and constant FPS.

My Budget for a card is around £150 max

Thanks

Hello,

What are your current specs?

Post the make/model of the PSU including wattage.

Intel Core 2 duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz
2GB RAM

I don't know what the PSU model or make is or the wattage, how can i find out?

What is the make/model of the PC or is this a custom build?

You will have to open the case and look on the side of the PSU.

What card you can upgrade to will have a lot to do with what PSU you currently have.

Most of the newer GPU need a fair amount of power to run efficiently.
