Hi,

I am looking for a new graphics card for my desktop, but I know that far from all cards are compatible with this desktop. Any suggestions for a good gamer graphics card?

 

Thx!

Jacob

@JGA1, welcome to the forum.

 

There are two things that you have to consider: 1) the wattage to run the card properly.  The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 460W which should be plenty. and 2)  does the card require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a Legacy/standard BIOS.  The computer has a Legacy BIOS and can't be updated.  Therefore, the last cards that require a Legacy BIOS are the GTX 660/670 series.

 

I have been recommending that the members choose a manufacturer and contact their Tech Support for help with choosing the best card for their systems.  The manufacturer's know their products best.  The sellers pay for shipping a card to you, but you pay to return a card that doesn't work.
