Pavilion P6000 series graphic card upgrade

[RichiZ]

Hi,

I have a new monitor which has a native resolution of 2560 x 1440, so would like to upgrade the graphic card to least allow this display resolution.  My current graphic card is ATI Radeon HD 4200 with a highest resolution of 1920x1080.

Would like to know whether such upgrade is feasible for this computer and if so, which graphic card would be a good choice.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Richard

Hi,

There are some graphics cards that will meet your resolution requirements but the manufacturers most seem to recommend a power supply that is much larger than the 250 watt power supply that is in your PC.

This Visiontek 6450 only needs a 250 watt power supply.

Hi Dave,

Thank you very much! 

My system is low level and old.  I don't spend too much time on computer after work.  I mostly use it for web browsing and taking care of things online, as well as occasionally editing photos (as a hobby).  So I recently bought a NEC PA272W monitor and that's where the problem started.  However I prefer not to spend time and money upgrading my entire system at the moment because of my limit usage.  So I am looking for a graphic card to accomondate this NEC monitor's 1440 resolution but not for gaming etc.

Will check out Visiontek 6450 today at Fry's and if not there I will buy it online.

Thank you again for the kind help!  I am not too familiar with computer hardwares.
