• need a new Graphics card (and power supply)
    8 replies, posted
Hey facepunch. I need a new video card and probably a new power supply to feed it. The budget here for both is $200 +/- a little. I have a premade HP. This is it: [url]http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2365444,00.asp[/url] I have a two monitor setup, the main one 1080p, the other 1280 x 1024. I need it to have one DVI and and one D-Sub. (I guess I could have a converter from HDMI to the DVI and another for the DVI to the d-sub.) I like Newegg. Thanks, FP.
For that low of a budget, your best bet is probably something like a 5830 and ~450w power supply [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102878[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371045&cm_re=antec_450w-_-17-371-045-_-Product[/url]
I got an extra $50. So that makes the total $200. Where does that put me?
You can up to a GTX 460/6850. I wouldn't recommend trying to overclock on 450w though.
I've got a 6950 running overclocked on my 425W, and it has been for the last ~2 months with no problems. But, yeah onlly do it if you feel comfortable with it.
This doesn't really deserve a new thread, so I'll put it here. Speccy says that I have a "FOXCONN 2A92" mobo. I can't find a manual on google, or even a mention of its existence. It's from an HP, but is there any chance of finding a manual?
