Upgrade Video Card for HP Pavilion a6228x Desktop PC

‎12-28-2011 04:54 PM

I'm wanting to upgrade the video card and was wondering if there were any suggestions as to a good card for under $60. I just need something equivalient to  "NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT or ATI Radeon X1950 Pro" or better. I just got Star Wars the Old Republic and my factory istalled graphics card is not powerful enough. I'm a bit confused on what type of graphics card my desktop takes. I did read that it has

PCI Two (One available) PCI Express x16 One (One available) PCI Express x1 One (One available)

 Would a PCI Express 2.0 fit in one of these?

One of the cards I am considering is:

Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Hi,

 

You might want to google Stars Wars Old Republic system requirements and see what others are suggesting.  Game performance is also tied to the game quality settings and monitor resolution that you want to use.

 

I suggested these upgrades for another user wanting some suggestions.
