The fan on my AMD Eyefinity Radeon HD 7570 graphics card was making a lot of noise and was very dusty and eventually just quit. Is this still available (I know, unlikely). Is there any other card that would work with my system? Or am I going to have to upgrade something else (motherboard?). I really don't know much about computers, please help! Doing the COVID WFH thing and using my laptop in the meantime, but it's just not the same.

You're very welcome.

 

If you have a monitor with a HDMI connection and one with a DVI connection, you can use two monitors.

 

Unfortunately, I would not be able to help you with upgrading your PC.

Hi:

 

I think the easiest thing to do would be to buy a used but tested and working AMD HD 7570 on eBay.

 

You can use one of the Dell cards.  Make sure you get one with the normal profile mounting bracket, not the low profile one.

Thanks! I tried ordering one but the seller never sent it. Now the only ones I seem to find don't look quite the same and don't have as many ports (mine is like the first two pics). Do you have any other suggestions?

You're very welcome.

 

The cards on eBay are just missing the display port option.

 

They all come with the standard HDMI and DVI outputs.

 

If you are only using one monitor, and it has either a DVI or HDMI input, you will be fine.

 

Your PC has a legacy BIOS, so a new video card won't work.

Unfortunately, I really do need two monitors for work. So one last question! To be able to use a new card, would I just have to upgrade

something else (motherboard,  think I saw somewhere)?

Thanks so much for your help!
