And I responded to it.

 

I'm not interested in "discussing" this issue "offline" as I don't wish to limit discussion, thereby limit my options.  I posted openly so as many as want can respond.  When possible, I like more than one opinion.

Hi Eugene,

 

I replaced my PSU with a Corsair HX 650.  The Corsair VX 550 might be another choice for you.  The HX 650 was a good fit for my needs. The cables are a bit long but you should be able to make them fit in nicely.

 

You might want to measure the length of the 6850 as space inside is a bit tight.   The 6850 is 9.25 to10.25" in length depending on the card manufacturer.  I installed the NVIDIA GTX 460 1GB and it's only 8.25" in length.  You'll have to open up your PC and do some measuring to see if that 6850 is going to give you problems.  The 6850 is a double wide card so the slot adjacent to the PCI-E x16 slot need s to be vacant.

 

Review the ATI and NVIDIA performance specifications. Look at the memory bandwidth specifications and the DirectX level support.

Yes the doublewide and the length is sort of an issue. I checked my case and saw a small card o chip something on the 3rd slot. So is it still feasible to buy the ati card or will it cause problems. I don't know what this chip is called but if it helps the plug is green in the outside. I'm currently using a g210 which is around 6 inches and about 1 cm above my ram would this be a problem?

Eugene,

 

These are the motherboard specifications for your PC.  If the slot next to the PCI-E x16 is vacant then you should be OK.

I don't think so, it's placed on the black bar above the white bar. Can I remove it?

 

EDIT:

Ah it's vacant but I just wanted to be sure because it seems like a very tight fit

You might want to consider the NIVIDA 4xx from a fit prospective but the 6850 has a good price/performance ratio.

 

I generally don't recommend the newer ATI for older PCs as I have seen a few posts where users couldn't get the card to be recognized.  Know what the return policy before you buy.

Yeah the 6850 is a really good card for its price and it's really good in crossfire. I'm kinda scared that ati won't work since I've been using an nvidia card all this time. Do you think the risks are high that it won't work on my mobo?

I can't say for sure that the 6850 will not work in your particular PC. Your PC was made in 2009 so you might be OK.  The issues that I did see were with the ATI 5xxx cards.

Thanks for your help! At least now I know that I can replace my psu and hopefully my video card 😄

 Bye!
